Neither can I find it on the OS Discovery maps. >> Seamus, The only thing I can be reasonably sure of, is that these two listings do refer to the same Tinlough. You're right, its not an official townland. Entering just plain Tinlough into google gives a number of hits - the one from the Munster Express may be the most interesting. From that description, the settlement/village of Tinlough (apparently a well-know location in the far S. Kilkenny area) would be in this area. Carrigeen village, probably just the 3 or 4 houses, school and St. Kevins RC church [Mooncoin RC parish] shown on the Discovery map, 3 1/2 miles SSW of Kilmacow, is also shown by name on the mid-1800's maps, in the townlands of Clasharoe and Corluddy. This certainly seems close enough to Kilmacow to convince me that Tinlough - wherever it is - is in the vicinity of these two locations. But I'll bet that someone from that south Kilkenny area could tell you in a Kilkenny minute <gr>. Pete Schermerhorn, in the glorious Berkshire hills of western Massachusetts
