"Pinkman: Achadh-ghionaidh = Field of the opening. This is Dr. O’Donovan’s rendering, and he got it from intelligent local Irish speakers. The townland is situated on the side of Slieve-an-Ierin, Kiltubrid Parish. The Down Survey writes the name Aghagenny and Aghageny. Some distance up Slieve-an-Ierin a river rises, gathers force as it descends and cuts a deep ravine right through the centre of Aghaginny, sometimes to a depth of 30 or 40 feet. ‘The field of the chasm or ravine.’ Gionaidh may be a form of geineadh.
