An Drom Mór
Féach Drom Cabhrach (?), bf Lackeen, p Templenoe Top. Hib. IV 53: 'B.f. neamhspleách atá i gceist [le 'Droumacouragh'] sa TAB. Fo-bhaile ag an gceann thuaidh de b.f. an Leaicín atá i gceist ag [fasinéiseoir áitiúil] ... Tógann sé isteach tuairim is an tríú cuid den Leaicín. San AL tugann an sagart paróiste "Dromcouragh" mar mhalairt ar "Dromore Demesne", sé sin b.f. an Droma Mhóir [Dromore], cé ná fuil trácht air i measc na n-údar eile a luaitear. Sé an leagan áitiúil d'ainm a tugtar le peann luaidhe san AL, ach cé go dtugtar"Drom cobhrach" i ndiaidh Drom mór le pl, ni hionann san is a rá gurb ionann iad. Féach go ndeineann JOD idirdhealú eatarthu nuair a deir sé, "There is also Drom Mór Cobhrach". Is leir gur tré bhotún a chuir se "mór" isteach anso ... ta an chuma ar an scéal gur b.f. tacair é an Drom Mór, mar gurb amhlaidh gur táthaíodh giotai de na b.f. atá teorannach leis le chéile ar mhaithe le diméin a dhéanamh de.'
