the wood of Puirséad?
Níl bunús an dara heilimint cinnte. Taispeánann formhór glan na fianaise ón 17ú haois gur -d nó -t seachas -l a bhí ag deireadh an ainm Ghaeilge. Faoi thús an 19ú haois, áfach, rinneadh atuiscint ar an gcáilitheoir mar Purcell, b’fhéidir de bharr chomhshamhlú -l-r-d > -l-r-l. Is cosúil gur sa Bhéarla a tharla an fhorbairt seo. Ach ní féidir a chur as an áireamh gur fhoirm mhalartach den sloinne Puirséil (< Purcell) a bhí sa * Puirséad seo an chéad lá.
Tá an méid seo le rá ag an gCorragánach in History and Antiquities of the Diocese of Ossory II, 141: ‘It probably signifies the church of some saint Pairseud or Pairseut, whose name however is not found in the Irish Martyrologies. There is no church-site in the townland...’ Ní thagann an fhianaise le -a- sa chéad siolla den cháilitheoir.
