Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    Ní léir bunús an logainm seo.

    Ní cosúil gur móin “bog(land)” atá sa chéad eilimint. Tá dornán daoine den sloinne Sasanach Fade le fáil i dtaifead paróiste Bhaile Átha Cliath sa 18ú agus sa 19ú haois (cf. www.irishgenealogy.ie) ach níl éinne den sloinne le fáil sa chontae seo de réir Griffith’s Valuation (1851–52). Fágtar an logainm gan aistriú.

    Tá imfhálú in iardheisceart an bhaile fearainn (www.archaeology.ie).
