    the church of Bríd?
    Bríd — ainm pearsanta

    Maidir le cill/coill san aicmitheoir, níl aon iarsmaí eaglasta anseo agus is léir nach ionann é agus 1638c ‘capella Sanctæ Brigidæ quæ dicitur coll Brighdi’ ar liosta Easpag Chill Dara — féach an nóta faoi bf Coill an Iúir (#28477). Agus is cinnte go raibh an áit seo suite i measc na gcoillte. Féach Kilnahown Wood SO < Coill na hAbhann “the wood of the river” idir seo agus an Bhearú laistiar, 1655 ‘Timber wood’ ar feadh na Bearú lastuaidh de bf Baile Mhuiris. (Is cosúil gur plandáil déanach atá in Kilbride Wood SO féin laisteas.)

    Ina ainneoin sin is uile, tá blas chomh heaglaiseach sin ar an ainm Bríd i ndeoise seo Chill Dara go dtaobhaímid go cáiréiseach le cill “church” in ionad coill “wood” anseo.

    Mionainmneacha ar an léarscáil:

    1. Skeagh Hill SO < An Sceach “the hawthorn, thorn-bush”.
