Ardra
Ardra, Ardragh, Ardrah, Ardraw, the names of many places all through Ireland; Ard-rath [-rah], high rath or fort. In most of these places the raths still remain, as, for instance, in Ardragh, near Carrickmacross in Monaghan, where a very high rath is still to be seen. Ardraheen, near Ballymote in Sligo, is the same name, only with the diminutive: high little rath.
