Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    the corner, nook of the bark-like surface?

    Níl aon chuma riascach ar an talamh anseo; d’fhéadfadh sé mar sin gur rúsc “bark” is bun leis an dara heilimint.

    Níl Cúil Rois “the corner, nook of the wood, (wooded) height” le cur as an áireamh ach oiread — féach an leagan Béarla 1856 ‘Coolrus-hill’ ag Daniel O’Byrne ar de bhunadh na háite é (History of the Queen’s County 6).
