"Pinkman: Eiscir = A ridge of high land, a sandy ridge. Compare Eiscir Riada – the ridge of sand hills, that divided the north and south of Ireland, when the country was divided in the 2nd century between Owen More and Conn of the hundred battles. It extended, with little interruption, from Dublin to Clarinbridge in Galway."
