"• Pinkman: Baile-na-mBráthar = Townland or homestead of the Friars. This townland, in Killinummery Parish, is a short distance west of Drumahair, along the River Bonet. It gets its name from the fact that the Friars dwelt for a time there, probably when they were banished from their Monastery near by in Creevelea. "
