"Pinkman: Cealldrach = An old burial ground. Cealldrach is a derivative from Ceall, a church; and, according to Dr. Joyve, the word gave a name to eight townlands, now called Caldragh. (Compare Cealltrach, Dinneen). …. There is also a place called Caldragh in the townland of Clooncumber, Parish of Gortlettera, and according to local tradition, this was an old burial ground. It is never cultivated to this day. "
