    the hill of the battle?

    Tá an cáilitheoir éiginnte anseo. Is cosúil gur cailliúint -th- /h/ láir is cúis leis an bhfadú guta anseo: chatha > cha’a > chá an fhorbairt atá le tuiscint (cf. bf Croithleach (#28092)). Tá cur síos ar ‘enclosure (site)’ sa bhaile fearainn seo san Fhardal Seandálaíochta (www.archaeology.ie).
