Additional sources[edit]

Found this, with a bunch of historical information worth incorporating:

Lewis, Samuel (1837). "Cahirconlish". A Topographical Dictionary of Ireland. London: S. Lewis & Co. – via LibraryIreland.

This seems largely the basis of The Cork Examiner article below.

Probably also listed in the following with some details, but I'm having trouble finding a free copy of vol. 1:

Cassell's Gazetteer of Great Britain and Ireland. London/Paris/New York/Melbourne: Cassell & Co. 1899–1900.

Same with this; it is probably in vol. 2 or 3:

Hamilton, N. E. S. A. (1899) [1868]. The National Gazetteer of Great Britain and Ireland, or Topographical Dictionary of the British Isles. London/New York: James S. Virtue.

Listed with considerable detail here:

"Cahirconlish". The Parliamentary Gazetteer of Ireland. Vol. I: A–C. Dublin/London/Edinburgh: A. Fullarton and Co. 1846. p. 295 – via Internet Archive.

Also listled here, with the considerably differing borders of the town, townland, and civil parish shown clearly:

"Search 'Caherconlish'". Placenames Database of Ireland. Government of Ireland, Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media. 2023.

Probably also in this, but it's not available online:

Ó Murchadha, Diarmuid; Murray, Kevin; Ó Riain, Pádraig (2003). Historical Dictionary of Gaelic Placenames / Foclóir Stairiúil Áitainmneacha na Gaeilge. Vol. 3: C – Ceall Fhursa. Irish Texts Society. ISBN 1870166728.

Newspaper article with a lot on the early history of the town:

"The walled city of Caherconlish". The Cork Examiner. 9 November 1970 – via Logainm.ie: Placenames Database of Ireland.

This was obviously drawing on a bunch of local-to-national history sources in addition to Lewis (above), but it's unclear what they might be. This newspaper piece has details not found in the Lewis piece.

The above was found here, with additional materials that provide other (older) spellings of this placename in Irish and anglicized: "Cathair Chinn Lis". Placenames Database of Ireland. 2023. "Archival Records".
