It will probably depend on where the reference is that you are looking at
e.g.
Mountbellew on a Civil Record refers to a large area that includes Cloncannon and Ahascragh
Ahascragh is a town and parish
Cloncannon (with various spellings and additions of family names) is situated in a central part of this parish in the Barony of Cloonmacnoon. It is about 2 miles North of Ahascragh.
So Cloncannon is a specific address, Ahascragh a wider one of the parish and Mountbellow a larger one of a civil boundary!
