Felipa	Lyr Add: Crucán Na bPáiste (10)	RE: Cnocan na bPaiste	04 Mar 21
The standard spelling of the place would be Cnocán na bPáiste. It is very common to pronounce cnoc (a hill) as croc rather than knock. According to logainm.ie there is an infants' burial ground called Cnocán na bPáiste in County Galway, and another in County Mayo. Mám Trasna (alliterated in English as Maam) is in County Mayo (Mayo is just north of Galway). There is a video on youtube of Brendan Graham talking about the song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7LrYOS-Qk0 and another of Karen Matheson https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RomFfK33v3U
