The first two lines of the second verse of 'The Young Sick Lover', collected in 1902 reads:

I wish I had you in Carrickfergus,
agus ní fada ón áit sin baile cuain

Outside Castlecomer is the village of Coon. In early manuscripts this area is referred to as Cuan and Cuain. There was a castle there which was tossed around 1840.
