Clonmoyle East
Clonmoyle East is a townland within both the civil parish and catholic parish of Aghabullogue, County Cork, Ireland. It is 756.05 acres in size, situate east of Aghabullogue village, and north of Coachford village. It is referred to as 'Clonmoile' in the Down Survey (Muskerry) map, and 'Clonmolye' with arable and course pasture land in the Down Survey (Parishes of Ahabollog and Aghinagh) map, with the terrier naming the proprietor as an Irish papist, Cormack MacCallaghan Carthy of the 'denomination of Clonmoyle', consisting of three ploughlands and "c". 1521 acres considered 'entirely profitable'. The present combined acreage of  Clonmoyle East with the adjoining townland of Clonmoyle West is "c". 1530 acres. The Ordnance Survey name book ("c". 1840) gives the Irish language version of "Cluain Maoile" to the townland, or 'meadow of the hornless cow'. It was said to be the property of Rev. J.L. Pyne and Molly Davis, and excellent ground, mainly cultivated, with some bog and furze running through it. O'Donoghue (1986) holds the Irish version to be "Cluain Mhaoil", meaning 'bare or bleak watershed', or possibly "Cluain Maothaile" meaning 'soft or spongy watershed'. O'Murchú (1991) holds the correct version to be "Cluain Mhaol" meaning 'the  bare meadow'. The Placenames Database of Ireland gives an Irish name of "Cluain Maol Thoir" to the townland, with cluain meaning 'meadow' or 'pasture', and maol meaning 'bare' or 'flat-topped hillock', . Townlands vary greatly in size, being territorial divisions within parishes in Ireland. Extensively used for land surveys, censuses and polling systems since the seventeenth century, townlands have also been used as the basis for rural postal addresses. In County Cork, surveying and standardisation of townland names and boundaries by the Ordnance Survey during the mid-nineteenth century, resulted in some earlier townland names disappearing, due to amalgamation or  division. The townlands resulting from such surveys were employed during the Primary Land Valuation (Griffith's Valuation), subsequent censuses, and continue in use today.
