Explanatory note

Gaeilge

Is aistriúchán í an fhoirm Ghaeilge (féach iontráil 1607). Tá cur síos ar an gcaisleán agus ar an móta féin le fáil san Fhardal Seandálaíochta (www.archaeology.ie).

Ainmneacha stairiúla:
Baile an Chaisleáin “castle-town” (1565c, 1570, 1593, 1607, 1611) agus Baile Chaisleáin Ghailine “the castle-town of Gailine” (1567) an dá ainm eile atá le feiscint san fhianaise (cf. 1549 ‘Castletown in Galyn’). Cf. par Díseart Gailine (#1434).
