n/a	"Pinkman: Tonnach = A mound or a rampart. Sometimes outside the outer earthern or stone rampart, surrounding the homesteadh, there was a timber palisade of strong stakes, enclosing a larger area. This palisade was called a tonnach or sonnach – from sonn, a stake or a pale. But in a wider sense the term was used of any defensive structure. …. There is a fort in the townland and there was a pound for cattle at one time. "	Nóta Nóta eolais
