Description
Excerpt from Place-Names of the County Longford: Collected From Various Sources, Correctly Spelled in Irish and Fully Explained in English
Longford. It will tell us the meaning of all or almost all, the place-names in the County. In fine, from it we can separate the pure and correct in our nomenclature from the impure and incorrect which we have been using in the past. The old Irish place-name is not a mere fancy term, no, it de scribes in one or two words or syllables what is or was the prominent physical features of the place. To the ear of a person with no knowledge of the Gaelic Tongue this description is completely lost, while on the other hand it has much knowledge for the mind and a picture for the imagination of the man versed in the language of Erin.
