Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    the little ring-fort

    Tá dornán samplaí eile de Charleville (< Charles) mar ainmneacha nuachumtha Béarla ar bhailte fearainn (BÁC, CM, Co, , UF). Táimid in ann an sean-logainm Gaeilge a dhéanamh amach i roinnt cásanna — ach is dócha gur comhtharlúint é an chosúlacht idir An Ráithín/Charleville anseo agus ainm an bhaile b An Ráth/Charleville i gCorcaigh (#12021) (Ráth an Ghógánaigh seanainm na háite úd; ‘Ráth Luirc’ de bharr míthuisceana).
