[2] The Ordnance Survey name book (c. 1840) gives an alternate Irish name of Ath a buirinn to the townland and also lists Ahavrinbeg and Ahavrinmore as sub-denominations.

Its condition was said to be of mixed quality, principally cultivated, but containing some boggy land, rocks and furze.

[3] O'Murchú (1991) holds upon local authority that Achadh Bhroin may refer to Byrne's or Burns' field.

[4] The Placenames Database of Ireland gives an alternate Irish name of Achadh Bhrain to the townland.

[5] Places of note within the townland include Mullinhassig Wood, a forested amenity which is managed by Coillte and contains a number of waterfalls.
