"Pinkman: Lios-Coille-Féidh (nó Fiadh) = Fort of the deer wood. This is written on the Down Survey ‘Lisculfeiy.’ See Joyce, Vol. III, Liscuilfea. “There are two sacred springs in this parish (Oughteragh)…one in the townland of what the country people call Cnoc-an-Fhiaidh.” O’Donovan, Letters, page 98. There is no Cnoc-an-Fhiaidh in this parish now.” "
