Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    Is aistriúchán í an fhoirm Ghaeilge.

    Bhí dornán beag den sloinne Scott sa chontae sa 19ú haois de réir Griffith’s Valuation. Dhealródh sé go dtagraíonn an logainm don imfhálú i lár an bhaile fearainn (www.archaeology.ie). Tá ‘fort’ greanta agus taispeánta anseo ar léarscáil an Down Survey (1655).

    Mionainmneacha ar an léarscáil:
    Cloghachaw SO léirithe sa chúinne thiar thuaidh den bhaile fearainn seo. Cé gur talamh chlochach atá cois an tsrutháin anseo (www.epa.ie) is dócha go mbaineann an t-ainm leis an teach daingnithe a bhí ar an láthair seo (‘possible medieval house … constructed with limestone rubble’, www.archaeology.ie) < cloch “stone structure”.
