Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    the bare ring-fort

    Díol spéise gur /~eː/ atá le tuiscint as litriú 1549–1552 ‘Ravele’ anseo. Is é -moyle an réadú is coitianta i bhfad ar maol na Gaeilge i bhfoirmeacha béarlaithe ar fud na tíre.

    Tá ceithre imfhálú anseo. B’fhéidir gurbh é an lios mór (120m ar leithead) ar an teorainn thuaidh, a scriosadh sa bhliain 1953, a thug ainm don áit (féach www.archaeology.ie).

    Mionainmneacha ar an léarscáil:
    Maidir le Clover Hill SO (146m) i ndeisceart an bhaile fearainn, bíonn a leithéid d’ainm le fáil mar bhéarlú ar logainmneacha Gaeilge ar nós Cnoc na Seamar, Gréach na Seamróige, srl., agus mar logainm Béarla ann féin freisin (cf. www.logainm.ie).
