    (15) Ballybrohan - the Irish for this is Baile Bnughachán - the land on the face of the hill.
    (16) The Island. (An Oileán) - So called because two mountain streams surround it.
    (17) Ballyliddane. (Baile Uí Liodáin) the townland of the Liddanes. The name must have been common there long ago but to-day not even one family of the name is to be found here.
    (18) Gortnanool. - (Gort- na n-Abhall) - the orchard. This place got its name from the fact that apples were extensively grown there many many years ago.At least so say some of the older people, but it must have been a long time, for no trace of orchards are now to be seen.
    (19) Fortwilliam: This is an English-Irish word, the real Irish name of the place is Baile Ua Fheaníla, the abode of O'Farrell. No one of that name lives there now.
