The Ordnance Survey's Gazetteer of Ireland, 1989, does not list Limerock (or anything like it - except for Limerick and Limerick Junction, of course) as a post office location in all of Ireland. The Archaeological Inventory of Co. Leitrim has a section listing "Local and Historical Names". Nothing like Limerock there, either. I wondered about the name being used locally in an area of lime kilns...... but there don't seem to be any in the county. I'll have to do some reading-up on lime kilns, as Leitrim is loaded with limestone and has no lime kilns, whereas mid-Cork has no limestone and dozens of lime kilns. So, I don't think I can be of much help. You may end up having to stick with the Limerick alternative. Sorry i couldn't find a Limerock for you. Would the Lime Rock racetrack in neighboring Connecticut be of interest to you <gr> ? .............................................................................. ...
