Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    ring-fort of (the) fort of Ó Maolagáin

    Ó Maolagáin – sloinne

    Tá an chuma ar an scéal gurb é Dún Uí Mhaolagáin bunleagan an logainm seo agus gur cuireadh an eilimint lios leis níos deireanaí. Is é is dóichí ná go raibh brí dún ligthe i ndearmad faoin tráth sin.

    Luaitear róil eaglasta le roinnt de mhuintir Uí Mhaolagáin i gContaetha Dhún na nGall agus Dhoire in Annála Uladh.
