Explanatory note

Gaeilge

the little ring-fort of Séathra
Séathra — ainm pearsanta

Seo foirm de Séafraidh (< Geffray na nAngla-Normannach) atá comónta i ndeisceart na tíre (cf. Séathrún freisin i gCúige Mumhan). (Cf. na leaganacha éagsúla a bhí ag cainteoirí Gaeilge Osraí ag Ó Corragáin, History and Antiquities of the Diocese of Ossory I 48n.)

Féach tagairtí sna Fiants do 1578 ‘Geoffrey Fitzpatrick’ … 1602 ‘Donell Mc Geffery’ = 1603 ‘Donell Mc Shearie’ faoi bf Béal Átha Amhlaidh (#28019). Féach leis go raibh an sloinne An Séathrach (< Mac Séathra) mar shloinne tánaisteach ag Mac Giolla Phádraig Osraí — cf. bf Carraig an tSéathraigh (TÁ 82, 88) (#48202).

Tá cur síos ar an ráithín seo san Fhardal Seandálaíochta (www.archaeology.ie).

Cf. an baile fearainn teorantach bf Ráithín Shéathra, par. Ráth Domhnaigh (#27869).
