Any suggestions for Dennis Murray's place of birth in the 1901 census?

It looks like Kenna, but I can't find anywhere with that name in Co.Cork.

Possibly a muck-up of "Carra" (as in Inniscarra and Lough Carra, near
Cork City) ? The census entry will have been copied from the original
schedule with "rr" possibly being mistaken as "nn", possibly
compounding a variation caused by the census-taker mishearing what the
householder said.
