the streaked, grey bottom(land)
Baile fearainn beag (24 acra) cois srutháin. Tá sé le tuiscint ón bhfianaise is sine gur tháinig athrú ar an logainm thar na blianta: 1655 ‘Tonreagh’, 1838 ‘Tooreeagh’. Tagann foirm úd 1655 le foirm 1819 ‘Tonreagh’ agus le 1821 ‘Thonereagh’. Seans gur seanfhoirmeacha coimeádacha iad an dá cheann deiridh seo, atá le fáil i ngníomhais talún. Is cosúil gur ardaíodh /oː/ > /uː/ in aice an chonsain srónaigh -n sular bádh an -n céanna le r- tosaigh an dara heilimint am éigin faoi thús an 19ú haois (cf. 1814 ‘Towrigh’).
Ní féidir a chur as an áireamh gur foirmeacha lochtacha iad 1655, 1660c ‘Ton-’ agus go ndéanann foirmeacha 1819, 1821 aithris orthusan. Más ea d’fhéadfadh sé gur tuar “animal-enclosure” atá sa chéad eilimint anseo.
