Agus é ag tagairt do co Seiscnen mar a teit a nAbhuind Moir (CrC 173.3) don bPaorach, deir sé:Seiscnin we may, without undue presumption, identify with a small stream on the coterminous boundary of Strawhall and Carrigabrick townlands, at any rate it seems impossible to equate it with Glensheskin through which flows the Douglas stream to [the] N[orth] W[est] of Kilworth. (Power 1932 72.32) Ní léir ar chomhthéacs na tagartha thuas (CrC 173.3) cé acu taobh den Abhainn Mhór fiú amháin ar bhain Seiscnen léi. AL: OC; OD.
