	"Arch. Inventory: “Castle (site). In pasture on a low ridge. Traditionally this is an O’Rourke castle and, although there are no historical references, it may be the structure described on the Down Survey map as ‘Sawhill’[sic]. One gable was standing c.1800. It is not visible at ground level.” (lch 205) “Megalithic tomb (possible) [‘Giant’s Grave’]. On the S-facing slope of a steep rise near a stream. An overgrown cairn…with three upright stones protruding from it” (9). Rath. Towards the top of a SW-facing slope.” (113) "	Nóta Nóta eolais

This is the traditional interpretation of this names. “Leamh-Choill, a very usual name meaning elm-wood, is generally transfored into the complet English word, Longfield, which forms the whole, or part, of a great many townland names. The conversion of ‘coill’ into ‘field’ seems a strange transformation but every step in the process can be accounted for.” (Joyce, Place-names, Vol. I, page 40). "	Nóta Nóta eolais
