the grave, monument of the white animal, of the brightness?
In ainneoin go bhfuil an baile fearainn seo suite cois Rockfield Lough SO, is foinsí iontaofa neamhspleácha iad Escheated Co. Maps (*c.*1609) agus Commonwealth Survey:AL (*c.*1653) agus léiríonn siad araon Laght- i dtosach an logainm. B’fhéidir go dtagraíonn an t-ainm don tuama meigiliteach i ndeisceart an bhaile fearainn (‘court tomb’, www.archaeology.ie).
