Explanatory note
- Gaeilge
the small (oak-)wood of the foxes
Díol spéise an fuaimniú seannach atá le sonrú sa chuid is mó de na foirmeacha stairiúla ón 17ú haois (cf., b’fhéidir, 1743 ‘Knockardgannan’ < Cnoc Ard Mhic Fhionnáin? (#28739)).
Seans freisin gurb é an sloinne An Sionnach (Fox) atá sa cháilitheoir anseo agus sa logainm Cloch an tSionnaigh “the stone (structure) of the fox”, ainm eile ar bf Cnoc an tSéipéil (La 28) (#27862) sa pharóiste céanna. Níl aon fhianaise dheimhnitheach chun an sloinne úd a cheangal le ceachtar den dá áit seo, áfach.
