Place name identification Co Cork

[feliscatus]

I am trying to identify a place name in County Cork, Ireland. It is the birthplace of Timothy DONOVAN son of Thomas DONOVAN & Ellen DONOVAN [nee Daley]. The place name is on the birth cert (New Zealand) of timothy's daughter in 1884 Mary Ellen. Mother's name is Alice Maud BRUMBY of Hatton England. Given the number of Timothy's and Thomas' in Cork, Im not having much luck tracing him or his parents so I hope I can find someone who may recognise the place name in Cork. So far Ive had people interpret it as starting with the letter "Y", "L" or "V" or even "W" or "K" ending in "have" or Hane" or "Hart".

It might be the Kilcrohane... this is a townland and also a civil parish in west Co. Cork to the west of Bantry. There's a second civil parish with the name Kilcrohane and it's located to the north near to the town of Sneem.

see Kilcrohane, Co. Cork (google map)

Thank you for that. Ive searched a directory for Kilcrohane and Donovan's and Daly turned up so it could lead to something far more substantial than the zero progress I had when I couldnt fathom the name.
