Explanatory note

Gaeilge

(little) place of the swell, surge?

D’fhéadfaí focal gan urrús ar nós *borrachán díorthaithe ó borradh “swell, surge … in current” (FGB) a chur san áireamh anseo. Tá talamh ghléireach sa chuid is mó den bhaile fearainn seo (www.epa.ie) agus sruthán is teorainn theas dó — féach go raibh muileann adhmaid suite ag an bpointe seo den sruthán tráth (Saw Mill, Mill Race, Mill Pond, Sluice SO 25ʺ).

Cf. Borrach (ainm srutháin) in Foclóir Stairiúil Áitainmneacha Gaeilge II 164.
