    Kingscourt is the first town outside of the pale or ancient boundary. The townlands on the North side of the pale have Irish names such as Enniskeen, Dunheeda, Carrickleck, Lisankey, and Rathlogan. On the Southern or Meath side the names of the townland are English names, such as Newtown, Possextown, Cruisetown, Carlanstown, and Robertstown.
