"Pinkman: Stuc nó Stuca = A small steep, abrupt hill The Down Survey writes the word, stuca, for this townland. Stuc means a stook (of corn, turf, etc.), but the term is applied to a small straight hill – which this is. Joyce makes this stoc, a stake or a tree stump. It may be, but I do not think it is, right. Anyhow the physical appearance of the place would point to the steep, abrupt hill."
