Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    the land of the little nest
    Faoin 19ú haois tuigeadh do mhuintir na háite gur foirm den fhocal feadán, ‘stream’, a bhí san ainm seo (féach 1840 ‘Na Feadáin … The townland is now called Fearann na bhFeadán’, Litreacha na Suirbhéireachta Ordanáis I, 61/25; 1840 'Fearann an Fhiodain', Ainmleabhar); b’ionann fuaim do Fearann an Neadáin agus do Fearann an Fheadáin.

  • English

    the land of the little nest
    By the nineteenth century the name of this townland and that of the parish were locally understood to contain a form of the word feadán, ‘stream’ (see 1840 ‘Na Feadáin … The townland is now called Fearann na bhFeadán’, Ordnance Survey Letters I, 61/25; 1840 'Fearann an Fhiodain', Namebook); Fearann an Neadáin and Fearann an Fheadáin would sound identical.
