Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    the church of Cuarán
    Cuarán — ainm pearsanta (naoimh)

    Mochuaróg ainm ceana a bhí ar an naomh seo; cf. ‘Mochuaroc … il-Laichis hi toeb Thigi Mochua’ Félire Oengusso 70. Féach an t-alt ar bf Cill Chuaráin ( 81) ag Ó Cearbhaill in Logainmneacha na hÉireann II: Cill i logainmneacha Co. Thiobráid Árann 109–111.

    Cé nach féidir coill a chur as an áireamh, measaimid gur cill is dóichí anseo de bharr ainm naoimh a bheith sa cháilitheoir agus an ‘church (possible, site)’ atá pléite san Fhardal Seandálaíochta (www.archaeology.ie; cf. History and Antiquities of the Diocese of Ossory II 341). Cf. bf An Choill Bheag (#28710).
