n/a	"Pinkman: Coill-Fhéith = Wood of the mountain stream. Féith, a vein, a sinew, a nerve, by extension, a mountain stream. This is O’Donovan’s rendering, and anyone who has a look at the place will see how appropriate is the name. Killea lies on the side of a mountain about five miles north east of Manorhamilton, Parish of Cloonclare. At the foot of the mountain is a river which is fed by a number of streams from the mountain side. One of those streams runs down through this townland. "	Nóta Nóta eolais
