Notes
This is the name of the township around Cill Bhaodain, which also gave its name to the parish for a while. OS maps have consistently mis-spelt the name Baile Mhaodain, as if the saint involved was Modan, in spite of the fact that OS Digimap now represents the same saint in the names St Baodan's Church and Tobar Baodan nearby.
