From the Wikipedia article

Moybeg Kirley (locally [ˌmɔibeɡˈkʲïli], from Irish Maigh Bheag 'little plain' and Corrbahile meaning "prominent townland") is a townland lying within the civil parish of Kilcronaghan, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. It is in the north-west of the parish, with the Moyola River forming its northern boundary. It is bounded by the townlands of Drumconready, Drumcrow, Kirley, Moneyguiggy, and Moneyshanere. It was apportioned to the Drapers' Company. The townland was part of the Tobermore electoral ward of the former Magherafelt District Council. In 1926 it was part of Carnamoney district electoral division as part of the Draperstown dispensary (registrar's) district of Magherafelt Rural District. It was also part of the historic barony of Loughinsholin.
