What is recorded here

No visible ruin or field boundary survives to mark the lost village, though it may have stood within the townland before the 1571 grant reached Owen mac Hugh O'Dempsie. The Earle of Kildare still claimed the surrounding settlements as part of his Manor of Leigh, suggesting the place became caught between older ownership and newer royal favour. Whatever its name or layout, the village was already fading from practical life when the grant named the land.

Unlocated village within townland mentioned in 1571 Elizabethan land grant to Owen mac Hugh O'Dempsie although the Earle of Kildare does lay claim tot he villages of 'Ballycarroll, Ballyteighduffe, Ballyodin alias Boydonstowne, Dirryfunchin alias Dirryfunchior, Ballyorlade (Abhalghort) alias Orchardston (Ullard), Ballinurcher, Clomany and Kilmorhcil , as parcell of the said Earl's Manor of Leigh' (O'Flanagan 1933, vol. 2, p. 52).
