  1. I live in the townland of Skehanore. It is in the parish of Kilcoe. It is in the West Division of West Carbery. Hickey is the name most common in Skehanore. The houses are all slated except three which are thatched. The name in Irish is Sgeach an Óir which means the bush of the gold, and there is a bush in a field in Skehanore which is called the Cill, and it is said that there is gold under that bush.
