Explanatory note

Gaeilge

the stone fort of Ruaín
Ní léir brí Ruaín. Tá sé le fáil i logainmneacha eile sa chontae seo (m.sh. Ráth Ruaín) agus i gcontae na Gaillimhe (Gort Uí Ruaín, Cathair Ruaín) agus an chuma air gur ainm pearsanta -- nó an sloinne a bhaineann leis -- atá ann
English

the stone fort of Ruaín
The meaning of Ruaín is unclear. It is found in placenames elsewhere in this county (Ráth Ruaín / Rathroeen) and in county Galway (Gort Uí Ruaín / Gortyroyan, Cathair Ruaín / Caherroyn) apparently in the form of a personal name or a derived surname
