Eanas Mot (Mochta (recte); scríofa os a chionn)
The people say it signifies the island of Mot (supra Mocht) which was formerly an island and is now surround[ed] by a great extent of low marshy ground which is flooded over every Winter. It is also said it was from the same Saint who presided over the Monastery of Louth ... His day is not celebrated here, nor could I learn that the day of any Patron Saint is now celebrated in it.
