Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    the hill of the miry gound?

    Tá na foirmeacha lochtacha gaolmhara 1655, 1660c ‘Knocknagrasse’ ceartaithe in 1669 ‘Knocknagrasse als Knocknegrally’. Is cosúil gurb é an focal greallach ‘swamp, bog, mire’ atá sa dara heilimint anseo (www.dil.ie s.v. grellach). Ach féach nach bhfuil cuma rófhliuch ar an talamh anseo (www.epa.ie).

    Cill Fhinnche Bheag — féach bf Tobar Baoith Cill Fhinnche Mhór (#27758).
