"Pinkman: Achadh-Bhuachaill – Achadh-a’Bhuachalla = Field of the boy – one standing for a number. Buachaill meant, originally, a cow-boy, derived in Cormac’s glossary from bó a cow and ‘cail’ ‘keeping’ – one who cares or keeps cows, but the word is now used to denote any boy. This name, probably, recalls the place, where boys gathered together for sports or amusement. Lough Melvin forms the northern boundary of Aghavoghill. The southern part of the townland is a rough, bleak mountain. "
