Mocharabuiee is a townland on the western edge of Sligo town, 
anglicsed Maugeraboy should be Magheraboycoms from the gaelic 
and means "Yellow Plain". Incidentally Spike Milligan also used 
this townland name in his work.Kilvarnet is another townland 
in County Sligo, and translates from "Barnet's Church", but 
Yeats used the names for their rhyming rather than historical 
context.
