    got the name of "Crushoa".
    There is another place called "Geata Bán" about two and a half miles from Kinvara. The reason that it is called "Geata Bán" is because there is a white coach supposed to pass there at twelve o clock at night.
    There is a field named "Cor Glas" in Cartron so called because there is a green bush growing in it. There is another field named "Locán" in Cartron and it is called "Locán" because there is a little patch of water in it. These places are situated in the town of Kinvara in the County of Galway and in barony of Kiltartan.
