Poor Tibberaghny, it has been shoveled between Co. Tipperary and Co. Kilkenny over the centuries. From various sources it has been written as Tybroughney or...
Accordint to Logainm.ie it is Tiobra Fhachna as for Leghetagkairaghe I can't find anything for it in the database or via a google search. Are you sure that you...
Muris, I have it right, but it is out of the abominable Inquisitions and the Brits of that time were not known for their spelling feats or even hearing Irish...
Here is the statement from the Inquisitions: "On 1 April 1536, James granted to John Ocuyron of Clonmel, merchant, an island called Ilean Tybraghevyne & an...

Hi Janet, As Magh Feimhinn and Cnoc Feimhinn (= Sliabh na mBan) are not far away, Tybraghevyne suggests *Tiobra Fheimhinn to me, or possibly *Tiobra Fhach[t]na...
... Hi Tom, That is an interesting find, but somehow I am not willing to buy into it just yet. For some reason it just appears that Burke tried to anglicize...
My tuppence worth........... and I am afraid it is in the category described by Janet as making 'a stab' at the name. As well as looking at Log = a hollow,...
... Ah, now maybe there's a trail....I went into my Fir Bolg tribe names, because they were sort of headquartered at the mouth of the Suir, and there is a...
Hello Janet, It seems to me that Tom's suggestion has a lot going for it. The footnote that he refers to in is the text of a land grant to Sir James Gough...
... This is terrific information, Tony. Let me take a second to thank everyone who has provided some insight so far, but I hope people keep looking, too. I am...
I think we have some possible additional back-up for the Currig. In a Clonmel Inquisition c. 1596 is a valuation of the spiritual promotions and dignities in...
... On top of all that, I have found an exact location for Leghetagkairaghe. The Civil Survey 1654-56 for Tipperary has the following on p.307 under...
Perfect, Tony. If it is the lake OF..., there must perhaps have been a townland there also. I'll see what I can do with the other townland names a little...
Tony, The only thing I can add at the moment is that Decoy is als. Ciaran's Trench als. Teampall MoChuana (St. Cuana). Clashavaddra, from what I understand is...
... Janet, The way I see it, Shanballyard, Clashavaddra, Decoy and Clonmore are all adjoining townlands more or less in a triangular shape, with Clashavaddra...
Tony, I think that is very clear and not too simple at all. Thank you for the extra information. For two such tiny parishes, Mora & Inishlaunaght, with tiny...

Hi Donal, good point. While Scaghnerinnie and Skeheenarince appear in two different baronies, their names are very silmilar. Logainm.ie has a long note on...
Donal, Tony, Locals in Skeheenarinky pay little heed to Power's interpretation of the name Skeheenarinky...preferring instead a distant folk memory of the said...
So let's complicate it a bit more. I have a Skeaghenneskery or Sheaghiniskerry, which I found translated as "Sgathan Iascaraigh", or Fisherman's shelter in...
Janet Quote I'm currently picking out the names from the Civil Survey, a lot of which are names of fords, but not all. It's a pain to go over to the library ...
Clare, I am aware it is on there, but it is a large file and takes a bit to download and uses up my broadband quota. Easier to get to the library for me. Janet...
