Deggan or Daggan
"Ca 59 ‘Corruptio nominum locorum. Every ng is pronounced here like gh guttural, and there is a townland in the parish of Castleterra called Daingean, a fastness, which custom has established as Deggan or Daggan — a name which in the west and South of Ireland would be made Dangan… As use will render anomalies and unphilosophical expressions inviolable in the spoken and written dialect of a people so will it, with equal authority, establish corrupt names in topographical nomenclature"
