snugboroughとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Snugborough is a townland in the Parish of Tomregan, Barony of Tullyhaw, County Cavan, Ireland. The older Irish name of the townland was ‘Kealloge’ which was an anglicisation of the Gaelic placename ‘Coill Og’, which means ‘"The New or Little Wood" and it is depicted with this name on the 1609 Ulster Plantation map. The townland formed part of the Manor of Calva which was granted to Walter Talbot in 1610 as part of the Plantation of Ulster. In 1724 the Calva estate was sold by the Gwyllym family to Colonel Alexander Montgomery (1686–1729). Mrs Montgomery was formerly Miss Elizabeth Percy of Snugborough House, County Wicklow, which was erected in 1695. When she died in December 1724, a few months after her husband bought the Ballyconnell estate, he renamed Kealloge as Snugborough in his wife’s honour.
