Explanatory note

Gaeilge

— of (the) bridge

Ní léir brí an chéad eilimint anseo. Is léir ar na tagairtí Gaeilge (600–1170c), áfach, gur mion (g. meana) atá ann. (Díol spéise mar sin go ndearna an Béarla Moyn- de sin sa 17ú haois.) Tuigeadh do na húdair luatha Ghaeilge úd gurbh é ainm na habhann a bhí ann.

Tá feart fáinneach ar bharra an chnoic (127m) os cionn Chaisleán Mhion Droichid i lár an bhaile fearainn (‘ring-barrow’, www.archaeology.ie).

Cf. bf, par An Mhin Aird (#1114) (Ci), ct Mionn Ard (#1166483) (PL).

Mionainmneacha ar an léarscáil:
Teampall na hEaglaise an t-ainm a bhí ar an láthair eaglasta i ndeisceart an bhaile fearainn, de réir dealraimh (Eglish Friary SO 6ʺ): féach an t-ainm béarlaithe 1896 ‘Thomple-nay-galish (accent on nay)’ air seo a bhailigh Ó Corragáin (History and Antiquities of the Diocese of Ossory II 134) (cf. ar imigh ar an alt ginideach baininscneach sna hainmneacha bf Bóthar na hOchtaí (#27815), bf Fearann na hEaglaise (#27867)). Cf. Eglish Church SO, bf Tigh an Tuair (#28044). (Ach cf. nóta faoi bf An Bhuaile Íochtarach (#27751).)
