"Pinkman: Lios-na-gCat = Fort of the wild cats. Wild cats were once very common in parts of the country – large, wicked, rough-looking creatures, nearly twice the size of an ordinary cat. They were very strong and active and at times very dangerous. Many tales are told about their doings and stories of demon cats have found their way down to modern legend. "
