Bunaphobble
A neat village has sprung up of late years at the mouth of this little river called by the natives Bunaphobble, but by the inhabitants of Derry and by strangers Moville. By Bunaphobble is understood in the country 'the foot of the parish' but I am of opinion that this is a modern name and that the correct one is Bunafebhal, from its being near the mouth of the Foyle. Moville has however became the general name of it these three or four years, and I think that we should adopt that name as the village lies so very close to the old church called Magh Bile or Movilla.
