"Pinkman: Tamhnach-a’-Chonnaidh = Field of the fire wood. In a country where woods, thickets and brakes abounded, one would expect that wood would be a very common kind of fuel. Firewood was called Connadh; and a bundle of withered branches or sticks was named ‘brosna’ – word that is in common use in the county today. "
