Explanatory note

Gaeilge

the round hill, projecting point of the the rocky place(s)

Is léir gurb é Corr Creagánach – “the stony, barren round hill, projecting point” an leagan atá á chur in iúl sna tagairtí is luaithe den ainm. Is léir gur tháinig Corr Chreagán chun cinn ina dhiaidh sin, agus léiríonn foirmeacha a bailíodh ón gcaint go raibh deireadh an fhocail creagán leathan san ainm.
