leeneia quote "Gloccamara is close enough. See the first post."

Yes, see the first post and subsequent posts. I'm from Co. Cork, I've never heard of a place called Gloccamara, though I often passed a prominent pub of the name on th old main Cork Dublin road.

The smallest unit of land division in Ireland is the townland - there is no Gloccamara in the database. If there was a real place called Gloccamara it would result in thousands of results in Google.

It is common in Ireland to use pubs and filling stations as reference points when giving directions. That's probably the reason for the few references given already.
