Explanatory note

    the grange, monastic farm

    Is gnách gráinseach-ainmneacha a bheith luaite le láithreacha eaglasta. Más le teampall paróiste Chill Tíle a bhain an ghráinseach áirithe seo d’fhéadfadh sé gurb ionann is 1282–83 ‘the grange of Dunmasck’. Dhealródh sé gurbh í Cill Tíle teampall paróiste Dhún Másc le linn na nAngla-Normannach (cf. www.archaeology.ie agus go háirithe Bradley, Laois: History and Society 260–263).
