Explanatory note

    level wood?

    Comhfhocal é seo de clár “level plain” + coill “wood”, is cosúil. Tagann an logainm céanna i gceist i gContae an Dúin (#66581) agus i gContae Thiobraid Árann (#46111). Rinneadh an logainm seo a atuiscint mar a bheadh ainm cnoic Clara Hill. Cf. Ó Crualaoich, Logainmneacha na hÉireann IV (LG) s.v. Tarahill.

    Ainmneacha stairiúla:
    1607 ‘Coolincossan’, 1622 ‘Clonkosane alias Culcosane alias Ballecosane’, 1629 ‘Coulcossan’, 1639 ‘Cullcossane’, 1639 ‘Coolecessan’, 1655 ‘Culusane’ < Cúil an Chosáin (?) “the corner, nook of the path” (cf. bf Fearann na gCosán (#28016) i gClann Donncha).
