Re: Can anyone help with a Clare placename?

If you go to our new maps system (follow the Maps link from the main library website), and if you know the location of Labasheeda, you can determine the townland it's in, and the parish also. This link shows that it's in the townland of Cullenagh http://www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/coclare/maps/gmap/in...
