- "Courtown" means the town of the sand". In this village of Courtown there is a Cromwellian estate owned by the Earl of Courtown who is said to be an ancestor. In these woods at Balinatray we see s stone cross which I am told marks the grave of a Danish leader.
Near the Ounavara we see the remains of a church which was burned in '98. In Kiltennel there is a well of St Canice and the ruins of a church of St Patrick.
Next we come to Riverchapel which means the "church on the river". This was burned in '98. Many Irishmen took shelter in the ruins of the old church when they were flying in haste from Vinegar Hill and Oulart.
"Ardamine" means the height of the mines because in olden times there were mines in it, traces of iron is still to be found in some of the land. There was also a brickfield some centuries ago where bricks were manufactured. The field is still called the "Brickfield".
Saint Aidan when he came to Wexford put his feet on Ardamine and where he landed is marked by a stone cross. It is said he built a church and monastery there.(leanann ar an chéad leathanach eile)
