There are three connected townlands of Horsehill, to wit, Horsehill Beg, Horsehill More (North) and Horsehill More (South). They are located SE of Inishannon town, on the R 605 regional road from there to Kinsale town. The three townlands are situated immediately N and W of the small town/village of Dunderrow - about 3 miles NW of Kinsale town. The third location is more of a problem. It appears that the townland name is Glantane or Glentane. The Glentane townland option is far to the NE of the other townlands, and is located in Ballynoe civil parish, about 6 miles SE of Castlelyons town. The townlands of Glantane Beg and More are in Cullen civil parish, about 6 miles NW of Millstreet town. The small town (more of a village, today) and townland of Glantane are in Kilshannig civil parish, about 5 miles WSW of Mallow town. This latter location would be the nearest to Killountane and Horsehill - but still 25 to 30 miles north-ish. I'll browse some more and see if I can find a "Glomthaine" closer to the other townlands than the choices I've given above. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Pete Schermerhorn, in the glorious Berkshire hills of western Massachusetts
