014 | A large hill South of Glenim Altitude 1000ft. [feet] [A dialogue follows regarding the derivation of the Name:] [Hand 2, probably M Donohue] Name compounded of Knock, a hill And Conie a rabbit, in Celtic Speech, Knockcony Dod is the most approved mode (being the Custom of the Country,) It is known as Knockcony Dod, [Hand 3] Hill or Dod is evidently superfluous in this Name.- [Hand 4] X If the name should be written in the literal Celtic or Gaelic - then Cnoccoinan (the rabbits hill) would be correct - The word Knock however being a Scotch word and coney (probably originally an english provincialism) also a word recognised in Scotland. Knockconey seems consequently the most reasonable mode of Spelling.- |
