Crossford

A rural townland 4 km northwest of Ardmore village. Canon Power (1907) suggests the name refers to the 'ford of the termon cross' - indictaing it may mark a core territory of the ecclesiastical settlement in Ardmore.

 

Coolroe

A rural townland cut by the N25 road, near to the Marine Bar. Canon Power (1907) identifies as number of Coolroe's in Waterford and interprets the placename as 'the red corner' - the colour red probably relating to the bog found in the town land. Bogs are often identified as red or black.
