Kinoulty
(pronounced by some kinowl)
The Moor of Bannow is more or less enclosed by four roads - the High Road, The Moor Road, The Moor Road (one at East and one at West) and another road which has no particular name. This road runs through a small area of the moor which is called Kinoulty. Natives speak of one house there as Murphy's of Kinoulty and the close by cottage as Browns of Kinoulty.
