"Pinkman: Corra-Cárr (nó Corr-a’-Cháirr) Hill of the cars. The Irish word carr is the same as the English word, car, but it is not borrowed from it. It is found in Irish writings nearly 1000 years old. Cars without wheels, or slide cars, were once very common, particularly for taking turf down the steep sides of mountains. "
