Explanatory note
- Gaeilge
Is aistriúchán í an fhoirm Ghaeilge.
Cloch an tSionnaigh “the stone (structure) of the fox” an seanainm ar an mbaile id An Chloch (#131217) atá suite sa bhaile fearainn seo. (Cf. Foxrock School agus Foxrock Cottage SO 25ʺ.) ‘Cluchanthunna’ an fhoghraíocht áitiúil a thugann Ó Corragáin ar an ainm úd (1905), a thaispeánann fuaimniú -(a)igh na Gaeilge mar /ə/, mar a mbeifí ag súil leis sa cheantar seo. Díol spéise an ‘-thunna’ seo a chur i gcomparáid le [Doirín na] Seannach in áit eile sa pharóiste seo (#28705).
Níl aon chur síos ar aon iarsmaí den struchtúr cloiche seo san Fhardal Seandálaíochta (www.archaeology.ie).
Mionainmneacha ar an léarscáil:
Is dócha go bhfuil baint ag 1660c ‘Carrigeene’ [< An Carraigín (?) “the little rock”] sa Book of Survey and Distribution le Carrigan Wood SO in oirthear an bhaile fearainn seo.
