Aghavrin () is a townland within both the civil parish and catholic parish of Aghabullogue, County Cork, Ireland. It is 667.32 acres in size, situate south-west of Aghabullogue village, and north-west of Coachford village. It is referred to as 'Aghrin' in the Down Survey Maps (1656-8),〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://downsurvey.tcd.ie/down-survey-maps.php#bm=Muskerry&c=Cork&indexOfObjectValue=-1&indexOfObjectValueSubstring=-1 )〕 Aghawrinmore & Aghawrinbeg are listed as sub-denominations, and the terrier lists the proprietor as Lord Muskry (Muskerry).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://downsurvey.tcd.ie/down-survey-maps.php#bm=Muskerry&c=Cork&indexOfObjectValue=-1&indexOfObjectValueSubstring=-1&p=Ahabollog+and+Aghinagh )〕 The Ordnance Survey name book (''c''. 1840) gives an alternate Irish name of ''Ath a buirinn'' to the townland, also lists Ahavrinbeg and Ahavrinmore as sub-denominations, and describes the townland as the property of John Bowin (Bowen), Esq. of Oak Grove, and John Bowin Gumbleton, Esq. Its condition was said to be of mixed quality, principally cultivated, but containing some boggy land, rocks and furze. The townland was said to have several waterfalls to the south-west, and places included Bowing's (Bowen's) Pond, Good's Pond, Poulahourane (Waterfall), Poulanassig (Waterfall), Ahavrinmore, Ahavrieg, Ahavringrove, Ahavrin Castle (Crooke's Castle), Carrigacubbeen and Clashagorrave River. O'Donoghue (1986) holds Achadh Bhroin to mean Bron's field, and that Bron was father of Maolmuadh, king of Munster in 959, and grandfather of Cian. O'Murchú (1991) holds upon local authority that ''Achadh Bhroin'' may refer to Byrne's or Burns' field. The Placenames Database of Ireland gives an alternate Irish name of ''Achadh Bhrain'' to the townland.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.logainm.ie/11339.aspx )〕 Townlands vary greatly in size, being territorial divisions within parishes in Ireland. Extensively used for land surveys, censuses and polling systems since the seventeenth century, townlands have also been used as the basis for rural postal addresses. In County Cork, surveying and standardisation of townland names and boundaries by the Ordnance Survey during the mid-nineteenth century, resulted in some earlier townland names disappearing, due to amalgamation or division. The townlands resulting from such surveys were employed during the Primary Land Valuation (Griffith's Valuation), subsequent censuses, and continue in use today. ==Townland sites/items of interest== *Aghavrin House *Aghavrin Cottage *Aghavrin Clapper Bridge *Aghavrin Mass Rock *Crooke's Castle, Aghavrin *St Olan's, Aghavrin *Mullinhassig Wood & Waterfalls, Aghavrin 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aghavrin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
