- Bruff, the name of my native village, comes from Bugh, and is so-called from the ancient and picturesque moat on the banks of the Morning Star. The Irish form of the name, Brúgh na nDéise signifies, the kingly fort of Decies and shows that our humble, but hospitable townland was a place of conseqience in teh dim and distant past. The historic mound which was presented to the people of Bruff by the Earl of Limerick, is known in English as "Bruff's Fairy Rath" and is often, but erroneously referred to as the "Binn Lisheen". The real "Binn Lisheen", the subject of Brian O'Flaherty's song, is situated, also near the banks of the river, but is farther up and to the south-east of the hamlet.

These Gaelicised with the passing of the years were soon fighting side by side with the native Irish. During the reign of Elizabeth, Pierce De Lacey held a castle at Bruff.
