   Macollop is the name of a towneland between Kilworth(Co Corte) and Ballyduff(Co. Waterford). It is in the Co of Waterford. There was an ould song about that too. 'Twas composed for the Groo's of Macollop big English settlers that lived there for years.
   One of the Grooh's of Macollop was out a horseback one evening and he heard a woman singing it as she was milking the cows. He hid himself until he had finished the song. Then he went up to her and asked her to sing it again. She did; and he gave her a five pound note for singing it.
