the fairy mound, hillock

Baile fearainn mór fairsing é seo agus d’úsáidtí a ainm mar mhalairt teidil ar pharóiste Shrúbh Bó sa 16ú haois. Cf. an logainm stairiúil ‘Rathneshian’ < Ráth na Sián (?) “the ring-fort of the fairy mounds, hillocks” luaite faoi bf Baile Thomáis (#28509) i bpar. Chill Tíle.

Tá cur síos san Fhardal Seandálaíochta (www.archaeology.ie) ar an gcaisleán (Shaen Castle (in ruins) SO) agus ar Shíle na gCíoch a fuarthas ann. Is é Tomás Ó Conchúir na Suirbhéireachta a scríobh an litir ón bparóiste seo in 1838 ina ndeir ‘I had no time to go to Shane hill, when I was in the parish, to ascertain whether any of the Castle remains or not. I have been informed, however, by a creditworthy man, that no part of it exists’ (LSO I 180). Ní háirithe mar sin go dtagann an méid sin salach ar ráiteas an Donnabhánaigh in 1840 a luaitear san Fhardal ‘There was another figure of a similar character [.i. cosúil le Síle na gCíoch as Caisleán Bhéal Átha Fionnmhaí (#45932)] on the old castle of Shane in the Queen’s County’ in LSO Thiobraid Árann I 316B (lgh. ionsáite i ndiaidh lch.480), cé nach léir cén t-údar a bhí aige. Gan dabht chaith an Donnabhánach roinnt míosa i dTeach an Fhraoigh Mhóir (#28299) le Myles John O’Reilly sa bhliain 1830, ach deir Coote nach raibh sa chaisleán lena linn féin ach fothracha (Statistical Survey (1801) 136).
