Explanatory note

English

The evidence for this anglicised parish name supports derivation from Cill Bhríde “St. Bríd’s church, cell”. In O’Donovan’s letter concerning the parish in 1840 he noted that ‘there is an old grave yard in the townland of Ballyregan which the old natives call Teampull Cille Brighde [Teampall Chill Bhríde], and in which the original church of this parish doubtlessly stood’ (OSL i p.75; cf. AIW 1408). This information not only confirms the origin of the place-name, but also implies that the generation born in this parish in the 1770s or 1780s was Irish-speaking.
