Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    pasture of —

    Ní léir bunús an dara heilimint. Ní ritheann An Bhearú/Barrow River in aon ghiorracht don bhaile fearainn seo; tá an míniú ‘the meadow of the Barrow’ ag Joyce in Irish Names of Places III 211 mícheart. Ach b’fhéidir go ndeachaigh ainm Béarla na mórabhann úd i bhfeidhm ar an litriú anseo.

    D’fhéadfaí an t-ainmfhocal bior “spike” (www.dil.ie s.v. bir) (cf. bf Ráth Bheara “rath of (the) spike” (#32096) (Lm 19)) a chur san áireamh, nó an t-ainm pearsanta Beargha (cf. an bheirt ab ‘Muireadhach ua Conchobhair & Coibhdeanach mac Beargdha’ luaite le mainistreacha Chluain Eidhneach (La) agus Chill Achaidh (#2030) (UF) in ARÉ s.a. 937; cf. leis ‘Beargda mac Foghartaigh’, Laighneach, in Leabhar Mór na nGenealach 471.23). Tá móta i dtuaisceart an bhaile fearainn (www.archaeology.ie).
