the fairy mound, hillock of Maigh Ghlas
Maigh Ghlas “(the) green plain” — logainmNíl an sián “fairy mound, hillock” seo ró-ard ná róshuntasach inniu (pointe triantánachta 455′ SO 6″ is ea é) ach ina ainneoin sin luaitear é mar mharc i roinnt gníomhais talún sa 16ú haois (Fiants) agus i gcur síos ar theorainneacha barúntachta sa 17ú haois (CS X). Is cosúil gur logainm eile, Maigh Ghlas “(the) green plain” nó Maigh Ghlaise “plain of (the) stream”, atá sa cháilitheoir.
