Mullaghduffとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Mullaghduff is a townland in the Parish of Tomregan, Barony of Tullyhaw, County Cavan and Ireland. The townland name is an anglicisation of the Gaelic placename ‘Mullach Dubh’ which means “The Black Hilltop”, which possibly derives from the blackish soil which covers the hill. The 1609 Ulster Plantation map spells the name as ‘Mulladuff’, the 1641 Rebellion Depositions as 'Mullaighduffe' and the 1659 Down Survey map spells it as ‘Mullaghduffe’. It is bounded on the north by Annagh and Corranierna townlands, on the west by Cullyleenan and Agharaskilly townlands, on the south by Cavanagh townland and on the east by Cranaghan townland. Its chief geographical features are Killywilly Lough on its eastern boundary and a central drumlin hill which rises to 309 feet above sea level. Mullaghduff is traversed by the Belturbet road, the Yellow road, Murray’s Lane and by the disused Cavan & Leitrim Railway.
