Explanatory note

Gaeilge

the small fairy mound, hillock

Ní féidir an cnocán a thug ainm don bhaile fearainn a aimsiú go cinnte.

Ní heol dúinn aon tagairt d’áit darbh ainm *An Sián Mór a sheasadh i gcodarsnacht leis an logainm seo. Féach, áfach, an t-ainm stairiúil Baile an tSiáin “the town of the fairy mound, hillock” faoi bf Bothchoill (#28673) i bparóiste Raoire Mór, tamall siar ó thuaidh.
