Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    the (little) ring-fort of the water

    Ainmneacha stairiúla:
    Bhí áit eile den ainm céanna i bparóiste Chill Tíle ó thuaidh a dtugtaí 1607 ‘Rahiniskdugh-mullegan’ (< Tuath (Mhaolagáin?)) air chun é a idirdhealú ar an áit seo is dócha. Is don áit eile úd de chuid an Phiogóidigh a thagraíonn iontrálacha 1563–1607 anseo (pléite faoi bf Ráithín Ruacháin (#28303)). Logainmneacha coitianta go maith iad Lios an Uisce agus Ráth an Uisce — d’fhéadfadh sé go mbíodh uisce sna díoga timpeall na n-imfháluithe tráth. Tá tuairisc ar chúpla imfhálú anseo san Fhardal Seandálaíochta (www.archaeology.ie).

    Mionainmneacha:
    Bhailigh Liam Price an mionainm ‘Cartharoons’ < Na Cartrúin “the quarterlands” anseo freisin.
