Description
This narrow lane leading up from the south bank of the River Lee in Cork is one of the only place names in the city with possible Norse roots. The name may come from the ON word keisari (meaning emperor) or more likely from keisa, meaning to bend or jut out. The location next to the bend in the river favours the second etymology, though it may be a later corruption of 'Quay Hill'.
