I cannot make out the placename but there are places in Cork called Gortadrohid and Clondrohid and the end of the word could be hid or did

I would think the first letter is P or J

I had a quick trawl through Cork placenames but came up with nothing
Kearney & Bourke/ Johns & Fox/ Mannion & Finan/ Donohoe & Curley
Byrne [Carthy], Keeffe/ Germaine, Butler/ McDermott, Giblin/ Lally, Dolan
Toole, Doran; Dowling, Grogan/ Reilly, Burke; Warren, Kidd [Lawless]/ Smith, Scally; Mangan, Rodgers/ Fahy, Calday; Staunton, Miller

Maybe it is a form of Fourcuil. 

If you search Denis Conelly in Clonakilty and enter Ellen Donovan for an additional name, you'll get more matches in Fourchil - Denis and Mary.
