    Piocás — sloinne (< Pygaz na nAngla-Normannach)

    Tá an sloinne céanna seo le fáil i gCill Chainnigh. Féach 1325 ‘John Pegaz’ agus bf Baile Phiocáis/Picketstown (#27047). Cf. leis an logainm Sasanach 1246 ‘Wayepigaz’, 1243 ‘Waye Pigace’ (The Place-Names of Dorset I 246).

    Ainmneacha stairiúla:

    1. Easca an chéad eilimint in iontráil 1549/50 ‘Askeballepekas’ — is minic an bhrí “gully, stream” leis seo i gCúige Laighean (féach Ó Crualaoich, Logainmneacha na hÉireann IV s.v. Ask)
    2. Ba ródhána an mhaise é an mionainm Cobbler’s Hill Cross Roads SO a cheangal le 1549 ‘Knockanvallyphekas’, 1633 ‘Knockballyviccas’ < Cnoc(án) Bhaile Phiocáis “the hill(ock) of Baile Phiocáis” de bharr bhrí an fhocail Sean-Fhraincise pigace a luaitear thuas.
