    the transverse town?

    Tá an baile fearainn seo ar theorainn barúntachta agus ritheann bóthar trína lár ó Bhaile Átha an Róine go dtí Achadh Bhó.

    Mionainmneacha ar an léarscáil:

    1. Is dócha gurb ionann Aughanagown SO 25ʺ, ar theorainn thuaidh na barúntachta anseo, agus 1552 ‘Aghnegawke’ atá le fáil i gcur síos ar thailte na mainistreach. Deir Ó Corragain gur theip air teacht suas leis an mionainm seo in ainneoin a dhíchill: ‘Its position was, evidently, somewhere at the northern extremity of the townland of Tonduff’ (History and Antiquities of the Diocese of Ossory II 391). Téann bóthar thar shruthán anseo, rud a thabharfadh áth le fios sa chéad eilimint; ní léir cé acu -ke-n atá ceart i ndeireadh an ainm, áfach, agus is mór an trua nach féidir bunús an défhoghair sa siolla deiridh a chinntiú.
    2. Mar le Fennor SO de féach bf An Tóin Dubh (#27749) lámh leis seo.
