Also, Marian did a search on Wikipedia for Carnmoney. This is what she found:
Carnmoney (Carn Monaidh in Irish, 'cairn of the bog') an ancient village in County Antrim, Northern Ireland, it has now been subsumed into a suburb of Belfast. It is situated 7 miles from Belfast city centre. It is within the Newtownabbey Borough Council area.
Carnmoney is known locally for its large Cemetery which serves as a burial ground for South Antrim and Belfast. The cemetery is positioned on the slopes of Carnmoney Hill, which is a haven for local wildlife and is designated a local nature reserve.
A Mary Butters[1] of Carrickfergus was convicted in 1808 for killing three people through herbalism, in a trial recorded officially as the 'Carnmoney Witch Trial'.
The poet Derek Mahon mentions the enormous Carnmoney Cemetery in his poem, My wicked uncle.
Carnmoney was the home of Mauds_Ice_Cream, a large provincial ice cream producer.
Carnmoney's constituent electoral boundaries still refer to the old boundaries of Carnmoney, Carnmoney Bog and Carnmoney Glebe.
Carnmoney Hill has many interesting archealogical features such as ringforts and souterrains. Dunanney rath being a residential place of the English during negotiatons between the English and Irish Kings during the 1600s.
