Granure is a townland roughly 10 miles to the south-east of the town of Dunmanway and map reference 51 degrees, 42 minutes North and Longitude 9 degrees West (as near as dammit). It probably means in Irish (The Place of the)"Grove of Yew Trees." That area close to where I grew up had several place name associated with the Yew tree. Sadly the trees have long vanished. If the lads had to avoid the main roads after the ambush, it was a hell of a trek across country.
