Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    pasture of (the) palisade
    sonnach < sonn. Aonad amháin ab ea Cluain Sonnaigh Thiar / Cloonshinnagh agus Cluain Sonnaigh Thoir / Cloonsunna tráth, cé nár thug an tSuirbhéireacht Ordanáis é seo faoi deara agus iad ag socrú litriú na n-ainmneacha Béarla sa bhliain 1838

  • English

    pasture of (the) palisade
    sonnach < sonn, 'stake'. Cluain Sonnaigh Thiar / Cloonshinnagh and Cluain Sonnaigh Thoir / Cloonsunna were once a single unit, a fact that went unnoticed by the Ordnance Survey when they were settling the spelling of the anglicized names in 1838
