10: BSW1 East Range

Speaker: Moya ReidFrom the Bluestack Way - Part 1 playlist.The 147 stacks of the range are numbered from left to right and we shall be telling you about their names with the original Irish spelling and the meaning of the word. A special thanks goes to the Renaissance Man that is Seoirse O'Dochartaigh who compiled this information in the booklet 'The Mountains, Loughs, Rivers and Place-names around Donegal Town'.  The final 51 stacks are to the right of Barnesmore Gap, which as you'll soon see, is a somewhat superfluous title as it translates into the the big gap gap. The stacks in this range cross over into County Tyrone.  We are delighted to have native Irish speaker, Moya Reid (originally from Kilcar) recite the names of all of the stacks in Irish. In the following audio piece, she can be heard reciting the Irish of all the stacks named and listed below.  97 Meenalughoge Hill - Cnoc Mhín na Luchóg gan ainm, The Hill of the Smooth Place of the Mice 98 Croaghonagh (district) - Cruach Eoghanach, The Stack of the Tribe of Eoghan 99 nameless 100 Croaghnagawna - Cruach na nGamhna, The Stack of the Calves 101 Croaghonagh (mountain) - Cruach Eoghanach, The Stack of the Tribe of Eoghan 102 Barnesmore - An Bearnas Mór, The Big Gap 103 nameless 104 nameless 105 Cross Hill - Cruach na Croise 106 nameless 107 Cnoc na Carraige Duibhe - Carrickaduff Hill 108 nameless 109 nameless 110 nameless 111 Croaghakeadew - Cruach an Chéide, The Hill of the Black Rock 112 nameless 113 nameless 114 nameless 115 nameless 116 nameless 117 Croaghmeen - Cruach Mín, Smooth Stack 118 Croaghloughslug - Cruach Loch Slog, The Stack of the Lake of the Disappearing Water 119 nameless 120 Meenabrock - Mín na mBroc, The Smooth Place of the Badgers 121 nameless 122 Clogher Hill - Cruach an Chlochair, The Stack of the Stoney Place 123 Croaghmeen - Cruach Mín, Smooth Stack 124 nameless 125 nameless 126 Croaghnakern - Cruach na gCarn (or ...na gCeithearn), The Stack of the Cairns (or of the Kerns or Outlaws) 127 Croaghnameal - Cruach na Míol, The Stack of the Insects (Midges?) 128 nameless 129 Meenadreen - Mín an Draighin, The Smooth Place of the Blackthorn 130 Meenadreen - Mín an Draighin, The Smooth Place of the Blackthorn 131 nameless 132 nameless 133 Ballykillowen Hill - Cnoc Bhaile Chill Eoghain, The Hill of the Homestead of the Church of Owen 134 Finmore Hill - Cnoc Fionn Mór, The Big White Hill 135 nameless 136 nameless 137 Polldoo Hill - Cnoc an Phoill Dhuibh, The Hill of the Black Hole 138 Meennameal Hill - Cnoc Mhín na Míol, The Hill of the smooth Place of the Insects (Midges) 139 nameless 140 Blabreenagh - Blátha Braonacha, Dripping Wet Flowers 141 Binna Hill - Cnoc na mBeann The Hill of the Peaks 142 Croaghgarrow - Cruach Garbh, Rough Stack 143 Croaghbrack - Cruach Breac, Speckled Stack 144 Tievetooey - Taobh Tuaithe, Side of the Kingdom 145 Crockmore - An Cnoc Mór, The Big Hill 146 Ardmore Hill - An tArd Mór, The Big Height 147 Oughtadreen - Ucht an Draighin, The Hill Breast of the Blackthorn
