Is ionann an baile fearainn seo agus an chuid iartharach den aonad ar tugadh 1/4 of Creene [sic] air ar léarscáil barúntachta an Down Survey. Faightear tagairtí i bhfoinsí eile do Ceathrú na Craoibhe (1608 Carrownecreve Survey Ulst. Leathanach: 173), a dtagraíonn don aonad mór seo freisin de réir dealraimh. (JÓG, 07 Eanáir 2026)
