As I have said, Benedine is the spelling today. If you want to see it referred to in the old spelling, go to nra.ie this is the National Roads Authority web site. If you scroll down to a paragraph on page 14 - heading Bronze Age ( you will find this immediately under picture 44) Bendin is mentioned. Bronze Age findings discovered from the Neolithic Age. The other townlands mentioned are all in the immediate area. All discovered about 2006 when the N7 motorway was being built. Betty.
