[Corú] béim ar an gcéad shiolla. Ta Curra mar ainm ar ghualainn cnoic i nDún Chaoin. Ta Páirc na Curra ann leis. (Seosamh Ó Dálaigh, litir 1958)

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.

“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.
