Notes

  1. ↑ Regarding the eanach-bile (marsh of the sacred tree) derivation advanced by P.W. Joyce or indeed the áth an bhile (ford of the sacred tree) proferred by Eugene O Curry in the Ordnance Survey Namebook (1840), both are incorrect. O Curry's colleague, Dr. John O Donovan, was correct in his assertion 'I think that this is a fancy name' (Ordnance Survey Namebook). It may have derived from a one-time female resident of Annabella House, now demolished. Details of the house and demesne are given in Houses Of Cork, Vol.1-North, p.29 (Anna-Maria Hajba) where she cites Joyce's derivation of eanach bile. Early name-forms include: Annabelle(1719), Annabel(1721), Anabel(1750), Annable(1776) and thereafter Annabelle (1811, 1830, 1837 and 1840).
