"Pinkman: Buaile-Bán = White Booley. There is a Boleybaun about two miles west of Drumkeeran town. And there is a Boleybaun in the east of Tullyskeharay townland, about a mile from the Catholic Church in Ballaghameehin. The tradition here is that it was a place where people gathered their cattle to have them milked. "
