Kerry. The townland is more than a square mile in area (695 acres) and would certainly be large enough to contain some small, sub-denominational settlements. But I looked at the 1842 six-inch scale Ordnance Survey map for the area (on the Clare Library website), and didn't see any names for the various parts of the townland - except for the castle and its grounds. I doubt if Knockanethan could be Knockanooan, as there are several townlands between it and Doonnagurroge. And I don't see a Clonmore, or similar place, in the area at all. About all I have on the townland is the following reference from John O'Donovan's 1839 Ordnance Survey letters: "In this Parish is situated the Townland of Dun-na-gCorrog, in which is situated a Castle of the same name, which now forms a part of the residence of George Hodges, Esq. This townland is mentioned in the Irish Deed above given in pages 7, 8, 9 and 10, as forming a part of the boundary of Moylough and in the list of the Castles of Thomond in the College MS. as the residence of Tege Mac Muriertagh Cam (probably Mac Mahon)." That's about all I have. Pete .................................................... Pete Schermerhorn, in the glorious Berkshire hills of western Massachusetts </HTML>
