the town of Foighil
Foighil — sloinne Angla-Normannach?Tá baint ag an sloinne Angla-Normannach Foyle leis an gcontae seo (féach Griffith’s Valuation; cf. MacLysaght, Supplement to Irish Families) agus measaimid go bhféadfadh sé gurb é an sloinne sin atá sa cháilitheoir anseo. (Féach go bhfuil cur síos ar ‘Moated site’ anseo san Fhardal Seandálaíochta www.archaeology.ie — is minic a fhaightear sloinnte Angla-Normannacha i logainmneacha mar a bhfuil a leithéid le fáil.) Féach leis 1297 ‘Walter de Wylle ... the cantred of Leys’ CJR. B’fhéidir gur leagan de Will é sin ar ndóigh.
Níl Baile an Phoill “the town of the hole, pool, inlet” le cur as an áireamh ar fad, b’fhéidir, cé nach réiteodh foirmeacha an 16ú haois in ‘-whylle’, ‘-whille’ go rómhaith leis sin. Cf. an plé ag Ó Crualaoich faoin téarma poll “pill” in Logainmneacha na hÉireann IV (LG) s.nn. Ballinphile, Mountpill. Cf. leis bf Cill Mhaolphóil (#28041) in Achadh Bhó.
