Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    big water-channel
    Iasacht ón Bhéarla leat, is dócha. Tá seans go dtagann sé seo le hiarsmaí seandálaíochta a fuair Comhairle Contae Mhaigh Eo i dtosach na bliana 2008; tá a thuilleadh staidéir fós le déanamh ar thorthaí na tochailte sin

  • English

    big water-channel
    Seems to be a loanword from English leat. This might tie in with archaeological finds made by Mayo County Council in early 2008; further study is to be done on the results of that excavation
