Nótaí: Feic bf. Staghall. D'ainneoin an ainmleabhair níl an t-ainm seo ar léirscáil McCrea. Tá b.f. Staghall Mountain West sé mhíle siar ó Staghall. Níl an t-ainm sa chaint nó ainm ar bith ag freagaird dó, ach tá eolas maith ar ainmneacha na gcnoc ann. Tharla nach bhfuil aon leagan Gaeilge cinnte ar Staghall é féin nárbh fhearr ainm cheann dena cnoic seo a thabhairt ar an bhaile fearainn. Staghall Mountain (1599') agus Staghall Mountain West (1589') atá ar an dá chnoc is airde ar an chéad eagrán 6" ach tá fianaise ar an hainmneacha cearta sna hainmleabhair: (1) Staghall Mountain West (1589) OS (1st Edition) 43 Maumlack (1589) OS (2nd Edition) 1845 Croaghalaughan AL:Revd John Harkin PP.
