Location for Lower Town, Clonca

[Cfdm]

Does anyone know exactly where Lower Town in Clonca is located?

It's in the Tithe Applotment Book,  but not in Griffiths, so it might be a name that changed into something else.

Thanks.

Using the OSI Mapviewer, searching by county, than Locality. Lowertown is listed click search and on the modern map the place it brings you to is not named but on the historic 25" it's a spot in Balleegan Upper

The parish of Clonca http://maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V1,648050,953686,3,7
The parish link isn't as good it's better if you do the search and zoom in a bit, than you get an outline of the parish.

Hi, just to add to previous reply, there are the townlands of Balleeghan Lower and Balleeghan Upper, when referring to Lower town they are distinguishing between these 2 townlands. For example from the Tithe Applotment book 1827:

QUIGLEY, Barny, Bellehan Lowertown

Thank you, that helps a lot.

For some reason , I have the worse time wrapping my head around these Irish place names.
