- For the following collection of place-names I am indebted to a great extent to Messrs Michael and Joe Murray, Newmarket on Fergus. Mr Michael Murray knows every inch of the district. He is a great sportsman and takes a keen interest in the history, folk-lore and archaeology of the area.The Irish forms are well-preserved and no English equivalents are ever used. I have tabulated the names as best I could and have included any legend etc. connected with them.
