Explanatory note

Gaeilge

the plain of (the) standing stones

Cé nach bhfuil aon rian de liagán ar na léarscáileanna stairiúla, tugann an fuaimniú áitiúil ó aimsir na Suirbhéireachta Ordanáis agus na foirmeacha stairiúla le fios gurb é liagán atá sa logainm seo.
English

the plain of (the) standing stones

Although there is no evidence of the existence standing stones to be found on the historical maps, the local pronunciation from the time of the Ordnance Survey and the historical forms suggest that it is the term liagán (standing stone) that is contained in this placename.
