Is in Irish Brosnach ... but it’s true meaning is still unknown. Many rivers have their source in this Parish and it is highly probable that the name has reference to that circumstance.
... The site of the old church is to be seen near the little hamlet of Brusna in the Townland of Brusna West, but no part of it remains. It appears that the patron saint of this Parish was the celebrated St. Moling Luachra as there is a holy well called after him in the vicinity of the church yard. He was a native of Sliabh Luachra in this neighbourhood. OD
