Explanatory note

the field of the hood?
Tá bríonna éagsúla le cochall (féach Dinneen, www.dil.ie). Níl aon dealramh le tuairim an Donnabhánaigh gur leamhchoill “elm-wood” atá sa cháilitheoir anseo. Lean P.W. Joyce an Donnabhánach agus mhol an fhoirm chéanna sin do Walter Fitzgerald (féach Journal of the Kildare Archaeological and Historical Society VII 31).
Ní dócha gurb é an sloinne Sasanach Coghill an cailitheoir, sloinne ata comónta i gCill Chainnigh. De réir MacLysaght níor lonnaigh an teaghlach sin in Éirinn go dtí an dara leath den 17ú haois.
Mionainmneacha ar an léarscáil:
