Explanatory note

Gaeilge

the hill of the friars
< Cnocán na mBráthar “the hillock of the friars”

Cnoc carraigeach (‘Karstified limestone bedrock at surface’ www.epa.ie) 121m ar airde. Caolseans gur leagan an-thruaillithe den ainm seo atá ar léarscáil 1563c ‘[ p]rācnocher’.

Ainmneacha stairiúla:
Bhí logainm eile ar an gcnoc seo, nó ar chuid de ar aon nós, mar atá 1659 ‘Knockany carell’, 1744 ‘Knocknecarroll’, 1754 ‘Knocknacaroll’, 1763 ‘Knocknocarol’. D’fhéadfaí Cnocán Uí Chearúill “the hillock of Ó Cearúill (sloinne)” a chur san áireamh, bunaithe ar iontráil 1659.

Is cosúil go ndearna Knockna- de cnocán na sa dá ainm seo, rud atá spéisiúil ó thaobh na béime de.
