Nóta: Faoi mar a luaigh MacGivney, tá iontráil in ARÉ den bhliain 1443 do “Puirt an Ghoirtin” (ARÉ, iv, 928). Deir Ó Donnabháin gur an áit seo atá i gceist ach tá sé le feiscint ó mhapaí Cotton agus Hib. Del. maraon le comhthéacs tagairtí eile ón 17ú haois gur ar bhruach Loch Cinnéile ar an dtaobh eile de bharúntacht Ghranard atá an Port an Ghoirtín sin – cuid de bhf. Ballywillin an lae inniu. Tagann seo le comhthéacs na hiontrála pé scéal mar go mbeadh Loch Cinnéile i bhfad níos mó ná Loch Cúile [atá i mbf. Currygrane taobh le bf. Gorteen].
