Explanatory note

    the land of the church

    Cé go réiteodh iontrálacha 1655–1905 le Fearann Eaglaise is é is dóichí ná go bhfuil rian den alt le feiscint sa tagairt is luaithe dá dtagann anuas chugainn, 1518–19 ‘Feraneheglyshe’. Is cosúil gur cailleadh an t-alt de bharr coimrithe.

    Ainmneacha stairiúla:
    Ar léarscáil an Down Survey (1655) léirítear foirgneamh anseo a bhfuil crois marcáilte air; cf. Church (in ruins) SO agus an cur síos san Fhardal Seandálaíochta (www.archaeology.ie). Más fíor don Parochial Survey (1814) ba é Teampall na gCailleach Dubh “the church of the nuns” an t-ainm a bhí air seo.
