Your description pins it down as closely as I've ever heard - thanks! If you do have any more info about the place I'd love to know. My KEARNS family lived and were tenant farmers there for most of the second half of the 19th Century and many of the children's birth certificates call the place of birth "Ruane", followed by Carrownamallaght. I've attached a photo of when my great uncle Vinnie Mann, whose mom was a KEARNS, visited the alleged location of the old KEARNS farm near Knock. Maybe you recognize it?
