Explanatory note
- Gaeilge
the little field
giorrúchán < (Áth) G(h)oirtín na Gréine (?) “(the ford of) the little field of the sun”Mionainmneacha ar an léarscáil:
- Léirítear Shellin’s Well SO ar imeall thiar thuaidh an bhaile fearainn (féach ‘Ritual site – holy well’ www.archaeology.ie). D’fhéadfadh sé mar sin gur anseo a bhí 1549 ‘Cloneshellane’, ‘Cloneshallan’ suite — mionainm atá le fáil sna Fiants agus i lámhscríbhinní an Chorragánaigh — cé gur mheas Liam Price ina chuid nótaí (atá i seilbh an Bhrainse Logainmneacha) gur bhain sé sin le bf Cluanach (#28873) 2km slí soir ó dheas. Más ea, dhealródh sé gur ainm naoimh ar nós Siollán atá sa cháilitheoir — cf. bf Cill tSiolláin (#46897) in Ó Cearbhaill, Logainmneacha na hÉireann II, agus an nóta ag Ó Crualaoich, Logainmneacha na hÉireann IV (LG) s.n. Rathshillane.
- Tá cnocán an-mhaol darb ainm Tullaloo SO < Tulaigh (Lua) (?) “hillock of (—)” díreach laisteas den tobar. Téann droichead Tullaloo Bridge thar shruthán ag bun an chnoic — b’fhéidir gurb é an focal lua ‘uisce’ atá ann (féach www.dil.ie s.v. 2 ló). Cf. abh An Lua (#116416), abh An Lua Ghearr (#116418) i gCiarraí; bf Cluain na Lua (#28830) i gCill Uisean.
