Sue,

I don't find any Fox Hills in Carlow, nor even across the border into
Wicklow. Your Moone parish Foxhill - even though it's just a couple of miles
east of Athy - does seem to be the nearest to Castlemore, etc. (by the way,
Castlemore is about a mile west of Tullow). And, of course, Knockshannagh is
between the two (too bad you didn't want a Rathnashannagh -there's one of
those right next to Castlemore <gr>).

So, that's about all I can find for now. By the way, a google search using
> Foxhill Carlow < turns up only the Athy-area Foxhill.
