What is "borrisleigh"

Borrisleigh (also known as Two-Mile Burris) is a civil parish in the barony of Eliogarty, County Tipperary.

The river Liscaveen forms some of the boundary between it and the parish of Ballymoreen; Borrisleigh contains within it an enclave belonging to the latter parish, comprising the townland of Rathcunikeen. While the presence of this enclave is unusual, the parish is unusual for another reason - two of its own townlands, Borris and Noard, have several exclaves scattered throughout the parish.
