Courough
Part of: Beara Peninsula / West Cork / County Cork / Ireland
Also: Courough
Townland on the Beara peninsula referenced in the 1846 Times correspondent's report as the residence of Humphry Curtin, who died of starvation. Modern Irish-language spelling not yet confirmed — candidates include Curragh / An Currach but I haven't verified against a townland list. Flag for cross-check against the 1851 OSI townland index for the parish of Kilcatherine. If a modern name is confirmed it gets added to variants here, not to a new entry.
