Explanatory note

Gaeilge

the marsh

Bhí eanach neodrach sa tSean-Ghaeilge, agus firinscneach níos deireanaí (DIL). Léiríonn na foirmeacha fada den ainm ón 17ú haois 'Carrowne hannogh' agus 'Carownehanah' a thosaíonn ar ceathrú go raibh eanach baininscneach san ainm seo: Ceathrú na hEanaí. Tá paistí de thalamh portaigh i dtuaisceart agus i ndeisceart an bhaile fearainn. (JÓG)
English

the marsh

Eanach was a neutral noun in Old Irish and masculine at a later stage (DIL). The historical forms 'Carrowne hannogh' and 'Carownehanah' which include the element ceathrú (“quarterland”) suggest that eanach was treated as a feminine noun in this name, however: Ceathrú na hEanaí. There are patches of bogland in the northern and southern ends of the townland. (JÓG)
