Explanatory note

Gaeilge

the (house-)site

Is dócha gur cheart 1655 ‘Laygaragh’, 1660c ‘Lagarragh’ a léamh mar ‘Layharagh’, ‘Laharragh’.

Thit an t-ainm Gaeilge i léig faoi thús an 19ú haois. Cé gur léir gurb ionann bf Middlemount agus an baile fearainn darbh ainm An Láithreach níl aon fhianaise dhíreach ann a thacódh le tuairimiú an Chorragánaigh go ndearnadh atuiscint ar an seanainm mar lár “middle” (History and Antiquities of the Diocese of Ossory II 61). Tagraíonn an dara heilimint -mount don mhóta atá sa bhaile fearainn (féach cur síos san Fhardal Seandálaíochta, www.archaeology.ie).

Cf. bf Baile Bhachláin (#28008).
