Can someone confirm if there is a Glanvert or Clanvert in Co Cork?

Thinking of possible phonetic mistranscription, there is a village and townland a few miles NW of Fermoy called Glanworth (also the name of the civil parish). There is also a townland called Glandart in the civil parish of Dromdaleague.

Thank you for your reply gaffy
I have a Mary Tobin on the 1871 census for Clerkenwell, London & it says she was born at Glannert, Ireland abt 1804
It has been suggested that this may be a misspelling of Glanvert or Clanvert.
I know she was married in Ireland to a Edward Tobin but have no date or place. Trying to narrow down my options.

Could also be the townland of Clonfert, in the civil parish of the same name.
