CE Morgan Origins: Bonny Portmore (32) Bonny Portmore: historical background 23 Nov 99

I have two recordings of this song. One, Loreena McKennitt's, says that "Portmore" was a forest in Ireland. The other, "The Lilting Banshee" from 1985, says that "Portmore" was the house, the residence of the O'Neill family of Balinderry. Reading the lyrics, it could go either way.

Does anyone have any further information which would clarify this one way or the other??

Thanks in advance, Cindy Ellen
