[Notes]:
"The southern division of the parish
of Kilfinan is called Kerriff or Kerry,
which is a gaelic word, that signifies a
quarter or fourth part of any thing; and
as it is by far the most extensive division,
& the church standing upon it, the whole
parish often goes by the name of Kerry
but it is never written so."

"The parish is well known by the

is a gaelic word, signifying the fourth
