Explanatory note

Gaeilge

the encampment?

Is minic an logainm chomónta Gaeilge longfort (comhfhocal ón dá ainmfhocal long+port) “encampment” a ionadú leis an logainm Béarla longford (< long (aidiacht) + ford (ainmfhocal)), ní nach ionadh. Agus is é is dóichí ná gurb in a tharla anseo freisin. D’fhéadfadh ceachtar den dá lios sa bhaile fearainn seo a bheith i gceist leis an ainm (www.archaeology.ie).

Ach bíonn longford le fáil freisin mar logainm Béarla ann féin gan amhras, cé go mb’fhéidir nach mbeifí ag súil le logainm Béarla sa cheantar seo chomh luath le 1597. Ní féidir a chur as an áireamh ar fad go ndéanann longford tagairt anseo do shlí trasna ceann de na srutháin anseo. Cuir i gcás an t-áth atá léirithe ag bun Longford Hill i lár an bhaile fearainn (Ford, Stepping Stones SO 25ʺ), nó an ceann atá léirithe ag Droichead na Duilliúrach i bhfíordheisceart an bhaile fearainn (Ford, Delour Br. SO 25ʺ), nó fiú an Foot Stick agus Ford trasna an tsrutháin díreach taobh thall den teorainn le bf Gairfin lastoir.
