Ainmneacha stairiúla:
Bhí an paróiste seo suite in Íochtar Thíre “lower (i.e., northern) country” ar imeall thoir thuaidh Laoise (féach bar An Sráidbhaile (#129)). Luaitear 1549 ‘Aghmoyanna’ < Áth Mhaigh Eanaigh (?) “the ford of Maigh Eanaigh” ar imeall ‘Caishmonerwoe cum Eightirtyre’ ach ní léir inniu aon suíomh a bheadh oiriúnach d’áth teorann.
