"Pinkman: Aireamh = Good arable land. Compare Hogan, Onomasticon, page 23, and note to the Four Masters, AD, 1452. “In Irish we have oireamh, áireamh, airech, airedh, oiredh, the anglicized forms vary also – Erry, Errew, Erriff, Errey. But all have one common meaning, namely, good arable land.” Joyce, Place-names, Vol. III, page 34 "
