Explanatory note
- Gaeilge
quarter(land) of heather
There are only two examples of the word cartún/cartrún “quarter(land)” in the townland names of Co. Cavan, both found bordering other counties (Li, Lo). The standard Irish form cartún is used here (cf. the local Irish form ‘cartún’ in the barony of Templeport), although it is possible that cartrún was used locally. Unfortunately no local Irish form was recorded in the Ordnance Survey Namebook (1836). - Gaeilge
quarter(land) of heather
Níl ach dhá shampla den téarma cartún/cartrún “quarter(land)” i mbailte fearainn Chontae an Chabháin, agus an dá cheann acu le fáil ar an dteorainn le contaetha eile (Li, Lo). Úsáidtear an fhoirm chaighdeánach cartún anseo (cf. ‘cartún’ ag Gaeilgeoirí na háite i bpar. Theampall an Phoirt) cé gur seans go raibh cartrún le clos sa chaint. Ar an drochuair, níor breacadh aon fhoirm Ghaeilge in Ainmleabhar na Suirbhéireachta Ordanáis (1836).
