Knockacurra is normally referred to as Castlecurry in documents of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. According to the Civil Survey (vol. I,27, dated 1654), Castlecurry was bounded on the west by ‘Knocknecahir’ which was part of ‘the lands of Swyfine’. The aforementioned Swyfine is now part of Springhouse – ‘Seefin Castle (site of)’ is depicted on OS maps within Springhouse townland. Chair Hill could be a translation of Knocknecahir i.e. *Cnoc na Cathaoire(ach). However if Chair Hill is a translation of ‘Knocknecahir’, we would expect the latter to be located in Castlecurry (Knockacurra) in 1654. It is also worth noting that Suí Finn is a common name for a height in Ireland; it literally means the resting- or sitting-place of Fionn.
