I tentatively read it as "Dromilesheen". At that time, I had gone through the townland listings, Townland Index maps, the names given to some of the 249 undefined burial grounds (mostly Children's Burial Grounds - Cilliní) and the 948 identified - and often named - ringforts (raths, lisheens). Nothing there. No villages with a suitable name seem to appear on the Discovery maps. I have recently communicated to Jan what I think are the next best sources to examine (and which I don't have access to). At the website: www.placenames.ie there are references to a unique collection of volumes of Cork placenames, which are available only in Cork City. The other possibility would be the six-inch maps of the area. I don't have access to any of these for Co. Cork, but the probable numbers of the OS maps for Dunmanway RC parish would be 93/4, 106/7/8, 120/1. It's possible that Drumlisheen (or such) is just a local "sub-division" or settlement within a townland. That's about the extent of our investigation, thus far. Perhaps someone has access to these six-inch maps and could take a look for Jan (!!).
