Gullane East

Gullane is prominent in the early Down’s Survey map of County Kerry, situated right in the Middle of Kil(l)conley Parish.  The earliest references I've found to East, West and Middle Gullane seem to appear to be in the Boundary Surveyor notes circa 1830, leaving the question of when they in fact were considered three separate townlands. 

Logainm.ie offers two notes on the name besides the dated references.  The first says Cárta – An Gallán 9.10.00 DED and the second An Seabhac: Gallán = cloch mhór ina seasamh An Chloch Lia sa chuid thiar – Cnoc beag which translates to The Hawk: Pillar large upright stone; the Stone ? in the western part - a small hill.
