"Pinkman: Clochlach = A stony place. Clochlach, from cloch a stone and the termination lach, meaning ‘abounding in.’ This is not Cloch-loch, because the local pronunciation is clearly otherwise, and because there is no lough in the place. The word is written Cloghla in a Royal Commission Report of 1821-1825. "
