Cloghulatagh (par. Taghmon) Cloch Chodlata “the stone of the sleep” OS 36, 41 1:50,000: 91431 20893
1765 1. Clogcolita CGn. 249.93.159209 1784 2. Cloghculleta CGn. 353.443.239978 1799 3. Cloholotha CGn. 518.373.342558 1811 4. Clogcullalla CGn. 635.250.437909 1837 5. Cloughculleta CGn. 1837.19.144.89 1840 6. Cloghulatagh BS:AL 1840 7. Cloch Ulltach “stone house of the Ultonians” OD: AL 1841 8. Cloughculleta CGn. 1841.3.135.75
Historical examples of this anglicised place-name such as ‘Clogcolita’ (1), ‘Cloghculleta’ (2; see also 5), and ‘Cloholotha’ (3) reflect derivation from Cloch Chodlata “the stone of the sleep”, rather than ‘Cloch Ulltach’ as suggested by O’Donovan (7). The final -ch in Cloch Chodlatach, as proposed in BPP (p.41), is not supported by the evidence: the final gh in ‘Cloghulatagh’ is unattested until the nineteenth century and can be readily ascribed to the common tendency to add -gh where no guttural was present in the precursor (see Ballintlea, par. Kilnahue). The name Cloch Chodlata “the stone of the sleep” probably originally refers to ʻthe Saintʼs bed, a sloping piece of bedrock’ (see AIW 1400) located just over the townland border in Mulmontry (par. Taghmon). Place-names with a similar theme, namely Knockacullata/Cnoc an Chodlata “the hill of the sleep” and Coolcullitha/An Chúil Chodlatach “the sleepy corner”, are located in Cork (see logainm.ie).
