Explanatory note
- Gaeilge
Bhí traidisiún láidir ann go raibh clochar sa cheantar seo agus dá bharr is mó an chosúlacht go mbaineann Nun's Cross leis sin, agus ní leis an sloinne Nunn. (Cf. 'The Liam Price Notebooks' iml. i (221-222), eag. Christian Corlett and Mairéad Weaver. Dept of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht).
- English
There was a strong tradition of an nunnery in this area and therefore it is likelier that Nun's Cross is from that rather than the surname Nunn. (Cf. 'The Liam Price Notebooks' vol. i (221-222), eds. Christian Corlett and Mairéad Weaver. Dept of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht).
