Explanatory note

Gaeilge

the mountain of Clár na hInse
Clár na hInse “the plateau (?) of An Inis (the river-meadow)”

Ní heol dúinn aon tagairt stairiúil don ainm seo agus ní léir cad dó a thagraíonn an t-aicmitheoir clár — cf. b’fhéidir an logainm stairiúil Cláire á mhíniú “plateau?” in FSÁG IV. Is dócha gurb í An Inis “the river-meadow” chéanna atá sa logainm seo is a thug ainm don bhaile fearainn bf Tigh na hInse (#28682) agus don logainm stairiúil 1475c ‘caislén na hinnsi’ [Caisleán na hInse] sa ghleann faoina bhun seo lastuaidh.

Sliabh ard (483m) é seo ar theorainn trí sheandúichí .i. Uí Riagáin mhuintir Dhuinn (Tigh na hInse), Osraí Mhic Giolla Phádraig (An Choill Uachtarach) laistiar ó dheas de agus Laois Uí Mhóra (Port Laoise Thiar) laisteas, mar a seasann sl Conlán (#1417410) os a chomhair amach.
