Dia daoibh,

The community centre in my local area has produced a book on its history as it was recently 100 years old. Within the book they have a section on local townlands, giving the Irish for each townland and its meaning. I just wanted to check this translation to see if it looks correct.

Berla - Crockada
Gaeilge - Cnoc eadar dá Ghréuch

Meaning - The hill between two marshy flats / Hill between the two greaghs or mountain flats

Go raibh maith agaibh
Seán

I don't know but I'd say it is probably spelled -

Cnoc idir dhá Ghréach

I'm not familiar with the word "Gréach" but I see it here as the correct name of "Greagh" - http://www.logainm.ie/ga/4532
That site is great for Irish place names, but sadly the Irish names of places in Northern Ireland are left out.

It is recommended that you always wait for three to agree on a translation.
I speak Connemara Irish, and my input will often reflect that.
I will do an mp3 file on request for short translations.

I hadn't realised that. That is terrible. That is worth sending an e-mail about.

Just had a look it seems when you search for somewhere in the north it will give you the Irish like below. Its strange it doesn't just include it in the main map. I will send a wee email to enquire. Great site though!

Thanks for the corrections Bríd. It didn't look correct to me.

Ahh ! that's where you're from.

I must admit when I saw your username first I thought you were a little old lady called Rose.

The very place!

Haha I see now how it could be a bit misleading

Seo é an freagra a fuair mé:

"Go raibh maith agat as do ríomhphost. Is féidir cuardach a dhéanamh ar áit sna sé chontae i gcónaí - féach an seat scáileáin iniata. (Bhí ceann iniata) Cuireadh léarscáileanna nuafhorbartha de chuid an OSi, i nGaeilge agus i mBéarla, leis an suíomh le deireanas. Ar an drochuair níl sonraí léarscáilíochta i nGaeilge ar fáil do chontaethe an tuaiscirt. Tuigeann muid nách bhfuil an réiteach seo iomlán sásúil, agus tá muid ag breithniú na ceiste.

Idir an dá linn, bheadh fáilte roimh aon aiseolas eile atá agat faoin suíomh nua."
