Explanatory note

Gaeilge

(the big fort)

Is cosúil gur ainm galánta é seo a baisteadh ar an teach mór anseo san 18ú haois.

Ainmneacha stairiúla:
Deir Ó Corragáin gurbh é ‘Kyle-thachawn’ an t-ainm a bhí ag Gaeilgeoirí na háite ar an gcuid den bhaile fearainn ina bhfuil an teach mór féin. Cf. bf, par Cill Tagáin (TÁ) (#48268) a phléann Ó Cearbhaill in Logainmneacha na hÉireann II, 242–4.
