n/a	"Pinkman: Duibhchin = A little black-surfaced place. This is shown on the Down Survey Map as Diffeare. And a Royal Commission Report of 1821-1825 has Duiffer, alias Diffeare, pointing to the Irish form duibh-fhéar, blackish grass. Diffin is about one mile north of Aghavas Church. Very probably the old Irish form was duibh fhear, and duibhchin or duibhthean is a more recent form. "	Nóta Nóta eolais
