"Pinkman: Aradh = A ladder, a hill. This is the rendering of both O’Donovan and Joyce for this name. The term, aradh, which means a ladder (O’Reilly) is applied, apparently, to a hill with ridges across – natural ridges or ridges left after tillage. Perhaps the word is used to denote the steepness of the hill. …south of Dartry Mountain. "
