Mícheál Ó Mainnín discusses this difficult name in PNNI 3, 133 and concludes that its origin is unclear. As it only occurs in the name of this hill, it seems that –ville must be a corruption of something else. A derivation from Ir. Críonmhaol, ‘withered/dry round hill’ or Críonchoill ‘withered/dry wood’ is worth considering.
Crenville is the 584th highest summit in Ireland. Our data has reached 79% of the goal for this summit. (Details) |
