the fort
Tá bearna mhór san fhianaise idir 1590 agus 1765 agus is mór an easpa í.
Ainmneacha stairiúla:
D’fhéadfadh sé go dtagann an logainm Béarla (The) Downs ó cheann de dhá áit ar imeall bhaile Phort Laoise anseo, mar atá ‘Doncoce’, ‘Doncore’ agus ‘Donmorough’, ‘Donmocoughe’. Tá na háiteanna seo luaite in Ionchoisne dar dáta 23 Feabhra 1589/90 agus in achoimre ar an ionchoisne sin atá le fáil i bhFiant dar dáta 21 Márta 1589/90. Más ea ní mhaireann aon iarsmaí de dhún ná lios san áit seo. Tá ‘Doncoce’, ‘Doncore’ doiléir; is cosúil gur Dún Murcha “the fort of Murcha” is bunús leis an ainm eile.Mionainmneacha ar an léarscáil:
Léirítear Ridge of Maryborough SO in iarthar an bhaile fearainn, an eiscir shuntasach a ritheann aduaidh trí bhaile Phort Laoise. Tá cuid di marcáilte ar an léarscáil in bf Cúil Tuairín (#28325) freisin (cf. www.epa.ie).
