the old ring-fort
Glacadh an focal ráth “ring-fort” isteach i mBéarla na hÉireann go han-luath. Dá bharr sin is iondúil go ndéantar é a ionadú le rath /raθ/, /rat̪/ i logainmneacha ar fud na tíre, cé is moite dá leithéid seo de chomhfhocail — cf. bf Cill na Seanrátha/Killeshandra (#383) (Ca), bf An Seanráth/Shanraw (#29284) (Li), bf An Leathráth/Larha (#23804) (Ci).
