Mount Echo Wexford

I have been reserching baptism records on line for Suttons/Horeswood County Wexford. I find numerous records that have Mt Echo as the Townland. I see other names of Townland I recognize. However I cant find information on Mt Echo anywhere. Has anyone heard of this place.  

update: I have found out that Mount Echo is also know as Mount Ego, Poulmolae, and Piltown. So looking for Kehoe ancestors in Poulmaloe and its surrounding townlands. Also interested in the Culletin surname.

Hello Karen, I do not see a Mount Echo in Wexford and you do not give the parish, I wonder if the transcription is incorrect, have you checked the registers to see the originals, registers nli to Google, htere are a number of townland in Wexford beginning with Mount and are one word, the nearest I see is Mountelliot that may be mistranscribed, you can check the civil parished and townlands here. https://www.townlands.ie/wexford/ ;

There is an Irish Placenames Facebook page but mainly interpreting meanings from the Gaelic etc, there are also probably some Wexford genealogy FB pages.

Good Luck

Pat
