Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    the wooded height

    ‘Talamh ard; talamh ard coillteach; coill’ an réimse bríonna atá ag an bhfocal ros i logainmneacha; sa taobh seo tíre is comónta an bhrí ‘talamh ard (coillteach)’ de réir dealraimh. Cf. bf, par Ros Chonaill (#1455).

    Mar leis an ainm Béarla Barrackquarter de, ní léirítear aon bheairic ar na léarscáileanna SO ach féach go bhfuil an baile fearainn seo suite díreach taobh thiar theas den mbaile b An Chúlchoill (#1165987).
