the town of the causeway
Ní mhaireann aon iarsmaí de thóchar sa bhaile fearainn ach tá an fhianaise soiléir. D’fhéadfadh sé gurb é tóchar a bhí i gceist sa logainm 1200c ‘Tóchar Léghi ingine Cuarnatan’ in Agallamh na Seanórach (a luaitear agus Pádraig ag triall ó dheas ó Fhiodh Gaibhle go dtí Maigh Reichead). Bheadh an suíomh oiriúnach ach cf. tóchair eile Togher SO 6ʺ, Killeenatogher SO 6ʺ in bf Páirc Ioma (#28462) agus Togher SO 6ʺ in bf Maigh Reichead (#28464). Cf. an nóta faoi bf An Tulachán (#28294) laisteas.
