Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    the gully, stream of the ring-fort
    Is minic an bhrí 'sruthán' leis an bhfocal easca i gCúige Laighean. In iarthuaisceart bhaile fearainn Baile Mháirtín (par. Bhaile Sonnáin), ar chúl Chéide Easca na Rátha an lae inniu, a bhí an ráth. Léirítear 'Eascanrath Lane' ar SO Cassini.

  • English

    the gully, stream of the ring-fort
    In Leinster the word easca often means 'stream'. The ráth, 'ring-fort', was in the northwest of the townland of Martinstown (par. Ballyshannon), behind what is now Askinraw Drive. 'Eascanrath Lane' is marked on the OS Cassini map.
