Explanatory note

Gaeilge

the wood of Coitín?
the wood of the little cot-boat?

Ní léir cé acu sloinne (Coitín < Cotyn na nAngla-Normannach?) nó ainmfhocal coitianta (coitín, díspeag. < coite “small boat”?) atá sa cháilitheoir anseo.

Níl aon iarsmaí eaglasta ar an mbaile fearainn seo agus measaimid gur fearr cloí le coill seachas cill (féach an Fardal Seandálaíochta, www.archaeology.ie).

Cf. bf An Choill Bheag (#28710) atá teorantach leis seo lastuaidh.

There is no church-site in Kilcotton, nor is there any tradition that such was ever here. From this it may be safely concluded that Kylebeg & Kilcotton, which adjoin, are but subdivisions of one and the same original townland, and that the church of Kylebeg was the ancient church dedicated to St. Catan.'
