    Mionainmneacha ar an léarscáil:
    Ar an gcnoc darb ainm Slievebaun SO < An Sliabh Bán “the white mountain” in oirdheisceart an bhaile fearainn atá Cromwell’s Lines SO (cur síos le fáil san Fhardal Seandálaíochta (www.archaeology.ie) agus in O’Hanlon, History of the Queen’s County I 272). Cf. Hewson Hill faoi bf Cúil na Carraige (#28488).

    Ainmneacha stairiúla:

    1. D’fhéadfadh sé gurb é an chuid thiar den bhaile fearainn a ghobadh isteach in Moanavaw Bog (#1419171) (SO 6ʺ) atá i gceist le 1607 ‘Clonedamphe’, 1872 ‘Clonduff’ < Cluain Damh (?) “pasture of (the) oxen”. Deir O’Hanlon gur in iarthar pharóiste Chill Tíle a bhí sé seo agus go raibh an talamh ann ‘black, boggy and level’. Luaitear é mar fhoroinn de bf Carraig na Páirce (#28296) sa 17ú haois. Is minic talamh cois portaigh a bheith i gceist le cluain-ainmneacha (féach Ó Cearbhaill, Logainmneacha na hÉireann III).
    2. Díreach laisteas de Cromwell’s Lines SO ar imeall theas an bhaile fearainn ritheann an N80 ón Sráidbhaile anoir thar theorainn na barúntachta idir dhá chnoc. Seo é 1608 ‘a passage or pace lately made ... called Ballaghnetorine’ CPR < Bealach na Teorann “the way, pass of the boundary”, de réir dealraimh.
