Cárta Deir muintir na háite go raibh Beairic RIC i “Currow” agus gur doghadh é 1920 (mar a bhfuil tigh “Egan” anois) Níl a tuairisc le fáil i gcáipéis ná ar léarscáil. Níl “Currow” marcáilte ar chor ar bith ar léarscáil 1841-2 ná ar Fair plan. Níl aon eolas faoina shuíomh in OSNB. Níl sé ar an DS bar. map. Bhí seanfhear ½ mile ó dheas ón mBaile “Currow” den dtuairim gur ó áth san abhainn a baisteadh é. B’fhéidir gur ó shean-leabhair staire a bhí aige a fuair sé an tuairim sin. Ba chuimhin le fear as Curracitty rinnce a bheith ar siúl gach Domhnach ar bharr an chnoic Curra Hill agus daoine ag teacht ón gceantar ar fad chomh fada le hOileán Ciarraí uaireanta. Tá déanamh an-shuaithinseach ar an gcnoc so. Airde 730 troigh. Tá an barr leibhéalta.

Cárta ‘Sa Revision Name Book (48) den bhliain 1893 atá “Currow”le fáil den chéad uair mar ainm ar an mbaile agus Currow Hill ar an gcnoc 1 ½ mile ó dheas uaidh. Tá an nóta seo leo araon ar leathanaigh éagsúla. “This name is a corruption of “Curragh” meaning ‘Conical Hill’”. Tá pointe Triantánachta ar bharr Curra Hill. “I think you need have no hesitation in putting down Cora = weir. It is on the Brown Flesk, a great place for salmon fishing and weirs. Not far off is another hamlet called Currans which to be diminutive plural of the same word cora, Na Coríní. I think that Dinneen, p. 250, quoting N.Y. is wrong here.” (Litir ón Ath. J. O’Connell 1961). 'An Chorr, 'the Sugar Loaf, east of Dingle; dim. coirrín, giving Na Coirríní townland S.E. of Tralee (N.Y.); generally pronounced and often written corra' Dinneen.
