Dolyth, in rect. de Cromothe, 1418; Dolun, in Croom, 1615 a.; Dolith, 1615; Chapel of Dolla, 1615 b. Dologh (D.S. (A)., No. 49), in 1657, shows the ruined church in the townland. The "Tripartite Life," p. 203, tells how a chief, Dola, opposed St. Patrick when building Grene Church (LI024-072004-); but the saint drove him to Dalmodo, or Dollas, in Airther Cliach. Site -Now forgotten in the townland. Dollas Graveyard (LI030-062----) may have been the location of this church.
