There's s a typo in OSM it should be Shee*a*nabeg

Looking at townland index - both are in Ballykine Civil parish,  so their
names actual are name="Sheeanabeg (Whaley)"    and name="Sheeanabeg
(Robeck)" .  That's an odd one all right.

I think Dacor did mention the FOO (ED BAR)  situation in his video.   Can
you add the (ED)  situation to wiki?
