INTRODUCTION 1. Studies in Manx place-names Apart from the products of mapmakers (cf. §4.7. below), the first known work on Manx Place-names is A W Moore's The Surnames and Placenames of the Isle of Man (Douglas 1891). This short work essentially contains a list of placename elements found in Manx nomenclature with comments on or a short discussion of their meaning and distribution. The first known and comprehensive survey of Manx place-names (in so far as collections of place-names had been extracted from documentary sources, assembled chronologically and conclusions arrived at through scientific discussion) was made by the Manx local historian J J Kneen in his Place-Names of the Isle of Man (Douglas 1925-28 in 6 vols.). This was followed shortly afterwards by the Norwegian Professor of Celtic and Comparative Philology at Oslo, Carl J S Marstrander, in his Det norske landnäm pä Man 'the Norse settlement of Man' (Marstrander 1932), which essentially looks at the Old Norse content of Manx place-names with some discussion of the problems involved, taking into consideration ON and Mx. phonology in arriving at conclusions (which Kneen had been unable to do). Marstrander followed this in 1934 with his "Remarks on the Place-Names of the Isle of Man" (Marstrander 1934); this is mainly a commentary on Kneen's conclusions. Marstrander's main contribution on Manx place-names (Marstrander 1932) is in Norwegian and as such remained a "closed book" to many scholars until relatively recently (though an English translation was made 195660 for use at the Manx Museum Library only). In 1970-71, as part of the then ongoing debate concerning the proportion of Old Norse and Gaelic speakers in Man during the Scandinavian period (9th13th cent.), Margaret Gelling contributed two important articles on Manx PN (Gelling 1970, 1971), examining their early forms and elements as found in pre-16th-century sources, arguing for an ON hegemony and a reintroduction of Gaelic into Man after the Scandinavian period. These were followed in 1976, as part of the same debate, by Basil Megaw (Megaw 1976(1978)). He set Manx

χ PN in the context of a reassessment of the evidence relating to the Scandinavian Period, dating a vital source about 100 years earlier than had previously been thought. He argued for a continued Gaelic presence in Man throughout the same period. Additional contributions on aspects of Manx place-names have to date been made by Eleanor Megaw (Megaw 1978), Gillian Fellows-Jensen (FellowsJensen 1983, 1985, 1993), Robert L Thomson (Thomson 1978, 1991), Margaret Gelling (Gelling 1991), and George Broderick (Broderick 1978, 1979b1982, 1987, 1993). 2. The Manx Place-Name Survey The Manx Place-Name Survey was set up by myself in late 1988 at the University of Mannheim during my time there as Senior Research Fellow and Assistant Lecturer in Celtic Languages at the Seminar für Allgemeine Linguistik (under the directorship of Professor Dr Ρ Sture Ureland). The need for the establishment of a formal Manx Place-Name Survey was recognised in 1978 when the Manx local historians William & Constance Radcliffe published their Maughold and Ramsey Place-Names (Radcliffe 1978). This book made clear that there was much more place-name material from documentary sources than hitherto realised awaiting collection and analysis. Up until then, the only comprehensive works devoted to Manx placenames had been those of Kneen (1925-28) and Marstrander (1932 & 1934) referred to above. The Radcliffes claimed that their material extended to some eight times the amount collected by Kneen for the same parish (Maughold). In 1983 they followed their 1978 book with Kirk Bride - a Miscellany (Radcliffe 1983), which contains PN and other material from the parish of Bride. Both books made clear that a systematic survey of place-names from all 17 parishes, 4 towns, and numerous villages, etc, was a desideratum, particularly a collection from oral sources, since those who would know the older names and their pronunciation would be elderly and would not be amongst us indefinitely. This urgency was recognised by Professor Dr Mäirtin 0 Murchu, Director of the School of Celtic Studies at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies, and in the summer of 1989, he made funds available to enable a four-week field trip to

xi be undertaken from Mannheim (August 1989) with the sole purpose of recording on reel-to-reel tape place-name material from oral sources and traditions within the Island. The University of Mannheim provided an Uher 4000 Report L (four track) tape recorder and tapes for the purpose. The DIAS also funded two further similar field trips to Man (February and August 1990). For the third trip financial assistance was also forthcoming from the Manx Heritage Foundation. In the course of the three field trips some 75 people were interviewed and sound-recorded. During 1989 applications were made to the German funding agencies Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft and Volkswagenwerk-Stiftung to enable full-time work on the Survey to take place, but these proved unsuccessful. In April 1989 discussions were entered into with my colleague and friend Dr Emrys Evans, Professor of Irish at the University of Wales at Aberystwyth (as it is now called), with a view to seeking substantial funding for the project from private sources within the United Kingdom. Shortly before, in March 1989 to be precise, the then University Grants Committee had declared Aberystwyth to be the main "centre" for Celtic Studies in the UK. During subsequent meetings with Professor Evans (held on a regular basis at the University of Liverpool, where he is Visiting Professor of Irish at the Institute of Irish Studies) the possibility was discussed of bringing the Manx Place-Name Survey under the aegis of Aberystwyth, as representing the "Manx" aspect of Celtic Studies there, to facilitate funding potential from within the UK. Professor Evans gave every assistance in this respect. As a result a successful application was made by him in May 1990 to the London-based Leverhulme Trust for a substantial grant to enable full-time work on the Survey to be undertaken for a period of three years, namely from October 1990 to September 1993. The Leverhulme funding made possible the following. First, completion of the oral part of the Survey for the whole Island, which resulted in more than 180 informants being recorded on tape and some 20 or so others in phonetic script, of whom 43 to date are now deceased. Second, completion of the collection of PN material from all pre-16th-century documentation for the whole Island and all map and field-name material for the whole Island. Third, extraction, compilation and analysis of place-name material from all relevant

xii documentary sources for the Sheading of Glenfaba, the subject of the first volume. In May 1993 a contract was entered into with Max Niemeyer Verlag, Tübingen, for the publication of this and succeeding volumes in the Manx Place-Names Series. September 1994 saw the publication of the Glenfaba volume. The second volume, dealing with the Sheading of Michael, was completed in September 1994. 3. Land division and tenure in the Isle of Man For administrative purposes the Isle of Man is divided into six sheadings, each comprising three parishes (apart from Glenfaba which until 1796 only contained two; cf. Gill 1883: 349-51). Each parish contains a varying number of treens (in the case of Patrick nine treens, German ten), which in turn contain on average four quarterlands. The whole is administered by Tynwald, the Government of the Isle of Man. At the time when the English king Henry IV granted Man to Sir John Stanley of Knowsley in 1406 (the Stanleys ruled as kings and lords of Man till 1736), the greater part of the Island was held by his immediate tenants. Other parts were freehold, held by the Bishop, the Abbot of Rushen and other barons by fealty, while the rest consisted of the castles (Rushen and Peel) and unrented wastelands. When Rushen Abbey and Douglas Priory were dissolved in 1540, their lands became vested in the English Crown. In 1609 the Crown transferred them to the Stanleys, who at various periods (cf. Gill 1883: 4, Megaw 1950: 173-82, Broderick 1981/82: 24-26) obtained possession of the baronies, except for that of the Bishop, the Barony of St. Bees (which later came into the possession of the Christians of Milntown), and the Maughold "Stafflands". In 1704, after long years of dispute between successive Stanley lords and their tenants regarding land tenure, rents, etc, an Act of Settlement was passed by Tynwald (cf. Gill 1883:160-171) securing land tenure in favour of the tenants. In 1736 the Dukes of Athol succeeded the Stanleys in their manorial rights as Lords of Man. In 1765 by the Act of Revestment the Athols were obliged to sell their manorial rights to the British Crown, which they eventually sold in 1829. In 1860, by the Disafforestation Act, part of the wastelands thereby acquired

xiii were sold, part retained by the Crown, and the rest allotted to the owners of customary lands in lieu of right of common. For the purposes of Manx place-name study, we can speak of five different classes of land (till 1900): 1. The customary estates (quarterlands) including the abbeylands and baronies, but excluding 2. The Bishop's Barony and Demesne, the Barony of St. Bees, and the Maughold "Stafflands". 3. The wastelands or "Forest", operated upon by the Disafforesting Act of 1860. 4. Estates created out of Crown land by freehold grants from the Commissioners of Woods and Forests. 5. Lands not part of the Forest still retained by the Crown. The estates in the first two classes are divided into a) quarterlands (the principal estates), b) mills, etc, c) cottages, i.e. plots of land in towns and villages and a few in the country adjoining quarterlands (Moore 1900: 871-73). Though none are complete for the Island in any single year, the earliest comprehensive setting books (Libri Assedationis) or rent rolls indicate that about 1500 the farmland in Man comprised some 730 quarterlands, extending from ca.50 to ca. 180 acres in area (exclusive of former common grazing), but averaging some 90 acres (Davies 1956: 109). The intacks, i.e. parts of the forest or common and other waste lands enclosed under licence from the Lord of Man, form a further division of the Lord's Lands, but not in the abbeylands or baronies. The question of the origin of the concept of treen and quarterland has been exhaustively discussed by Marstrander (1937) and Megaw (1976 (1978)) and for our purposes will only be lightly touched on here. There are believed once to have been as many as about 220 treens in the Island. In about 1500 179 treens of lord's land are recorded, comprising some 594 quarterlands. In addition there were about 147 quarterlands of monks' and bishop's land where no treen organisation has survived. Earlier intack land may have later come to be reckoned as quarterland, or even as treen land. The setting books group the tenants' names under treens, which could give the impression that the treen was the main unit of land, and that the quarterland as a unit was a recent concept.

xiv However, Megaw (1978: 279ff) argues that, since it can be shown that six prominently sited non-Christian burial mounds (two of which have been shown by excavation to be of 9th-century Norse settlers) are distributed individually over as many quarterland farms, the quarterland may have been the principal holding in that area at that time. It is not known whether such quarterlands were already grouped into treens then. It seems likely, however, "that the holdings that came to be known as quarterlands represent in general elements in a very early [i.e. pre-Scandinavian] land system" (Megaw 1978: 281). The term treen, possibly deriving from G. tir uinge 'ounceland' (Marstrander 389-90, English summary 424; though there might be some difficulties phonetically), would represent an administrative unit designated for tax purposes comparable with the 7th-cent. Irish concept of tfr-mbo *cow-land' as a tax unit (Megaw 1978: 280). Megaw (ibid) compares the four-quarterland unit (treen) with the Carolingian system whereby four manses (later five) combined to provide and support one fighting man, one supplying the man, the rest his armour and upkeep. Marstrander (1937) demonstrates fairly conclusively that each treen originally had an Early Christian keeill and family burial-ground, thus supporting the tradition of the Manannan (Traditionary) Ballad (ca. 1500) that St. German built a small chapel (keeill) in every treen bailey (i.e. the treen), and indicating that the treen as a unit has its roots in a pre-Scandinavian milieu. So too might the concept of "sheading", the six court districts into which Man has been divided since the Middle Ages. Though the term is evidently derived from ON se'ttungr 'sixth part' (Marstrander 1937: 410, 431), though the spelling (and perhaps the concept) is influenced by ME sheding 'division* - and the island of Gotland was evidently also divided into six settungar, sheading, in a British Isles context, may well represent a replacement of an earlier (?Celtic) term comparable with the Welsh cwmwd 'commot; locality, neighbourhood; a unit...in which a court of law was held...two (sometimes more) of which formed a cantref [English 'hundred']' (GPC/I:643a). Anglesey (comparable in area to the Isle of Man) has six commots grouped into three lots of two, but Man because of its mountain chain is divided into two lots of three sheadings (Megaw 1978: 284). Megaw (ibid) suggests that each of the six individual sheadings had formerly been administered from a treen-estate (or possibly from a particular quarterland within the treen) within a district that had the same

XV

name: Glenfaba(n) (possibly in the area of Glenaspit), Kirk Michael, (le) Ayre (?in Bride near Ballavarkish), Grauff (now Garff, cf. the Grawe quarterlands near Laxey), Midell (cf. Middle farm), and Russin (Rushen). These former sheading-centres all appear to have been farms, though not necessarily defensive points, and would be directly comparable with the maerdref '(royal) steward's farm/township' of the Welsh cymydau. 4. Source material 4.1. Pre-16th-century sources Until the 16th century documentary source material for Manx place-names is exceedingly scant. What we have at our disposal includes the following: 4.1.1. Coucher Book of Furness Abbey (Latin; containing a copy of a bull of Pope Eugenius III dated ca. 1152-53 and a grant dated 1246 regarding land in Arbory and Malew), 4.1.2. Register of the Priory of St. Bees (Latin; containing charters ca. 11541321 regarding land in Maughold), 4.1.3. Charter of Olaf II (1226-37) to Whithorn Priory 1228 regarding land near Greeba (Latin; originell lost, copy 1504), 4.1.4. the Chronicles of Man (Latin; ca.1257, with Continuation till 1377; appended Abbeyland Bounds relating to the parishes of Malew, Lezayre, and Lonan/Maughold, ca.1280), 4.1.5. reference in the Patent Rolls (Latin) for 1291 to St. Patrick's Church, Jurby, 4.1.6. the Appyn Charter (Latin; land grant of 1376/77 concerning land in Glenfaba), 4.1.7. Sheading Court Roll (English) 1417/18, 4.1.8. Garrison Inquest Roll (English; relating to Castles Rushen and Peel) 1428, 4.1.9. (though properly 16th-cent.) the "forged" Papal Bull of 1231 (ca. 1580-1600; Latin, concerning various church lands throughout the Island). Thereafter, the main repositories of Manx place-name material consulted in the course of this work include the following.

xvi 4.2. Setting books From 1506 to 1911 for the South of the Island (i.e. lying south-east of the central mountain chain - embracing the parishes of Rushen, Arbory, Malew, Santan, Marown, Braddan, Conchan (Onchan), Lonan, and Maughold) and 1515 to 1911 for the North (north-west of the mountain chain, embracing the parishes of Patrick, German, Michael, Ballaugh, Jurby, Lezayre, Andreas, and Bride) we have available to us a series of rent rolls (Lords Composition Books (LCB) and Libri Assedationis (LA), or setting books) containing names of tenants (paying rent to the Lord of Man) entered on a parish basis.The tenants' names are grouped under their respective treens. In 1643 James I Seventh Earl of Derby, Lord of Man (Yn Stanlagh Mooar 'the Great Stanley'), as part of his new policy towards land tenure (cf. Moore 1900: 880-907), caused a thorough revision of LCB to be made in an attempt to find out exactly who held land from him and for what rent. This resulted for our purposes in much more placename detail being included than hitherto. The new format embraced for the first time a number of quarterland and intack names, which in this respect was greatly expanded upon in LCB 1704, the year of the Act of Settlement. LCB 1704, therefore, comprises the main reservoir of the earliest attested forms of the majority of quarterland and intack names. After 1704 LA occasionally contain quarterland names, but regularly any intack names, though there was no legal requirement to do so. From 1869 till 1991 quarterland names are regularly entered. In the course of the 18th century, from ca.1728 to ca.1797, the number of new parcels of intack land (almost all bearing Manx-Gaelic names) taken in and registered, e.g. in Patrick, increased dramatically (though in Michael, Ballaugh, and Jurby the increase was slight), and these form a major source of our placename material. Similar setting books for abbeyland holdings (essentially in Rushen, Malew, German, Braddan, Lonan and Lezayre; also the Baronies of Bangor and Saul in Patrick, of St. Trinian's in Marown, of St. Bees in Maughold and the Maughold "Stafflands", of the Bishop in Marown, Patrick, Braddan, Ballaugh, Michael, and Jurby) provide similar material, but no treen or intack names (cf. above).

xvii 4.3. Deeds of sale and mortgage Beside the setting books the other main source of PN material is the deeds of sale and (less numerous) mortgage which date from ca.1700 to the present. As well as quarterland and intack names, these also contain a considerable number of field names (in Manx), many of which have since fallen out of use. A comparison with those collected on sound-recordings from oral tradition (198993) makes that clear. The deeds form the main source of early field names. For our purposes here deeds to the year 1848 only (the date of the change-over to monthly registration) have been consulted, thereafter the exercise resulted in diminishing returns. Deeds earlier than ca. 1700 are found in Libri Cancellarii. 4.4. Estate plans An additional source in this respect are the estate plans of 18th- & 19th-century date. These were drawn up by surveyors for a number of Manx estates, though not all. A small proportion of those available at the Manx Museum Library are accompanied by lists of field names, but this is the exception rather than the rule. Nevertheless, some of the early plans record field names in Manx since lost to oral tradition. Estate plans of differing dates, but of the same estate, can show varying names for the same field, cf. the estate plans for Ballavoddan AN for 1779 and 1830. 4.5. Enquest files For names of a different kind, e.g. inland rock names, stream names, etc, i.e. those used as boundary markers, rather than farm or intack names, the main source is the Enquest Files (EF: 1688-1916); these records arise from local boundary disputes between neighbours. 4.6. Woods*

Atlas

Woods' Atlas of 1867 (qv) draws essentially on setting books and tithe plans to give an accurate picture of land holdings in the Island at that time. Though

xviii some additional PN material has been gleaned from its pages, the Atlas has mainly been used as a means to plot the whereabouts of the various intacks men-tioned in the setting books, deeds, etc, and to delineate the various holdings on the Survey's own maps to determine the placement of their fields.

4.7. Maps Early maps showing the Isle of Man date from Ptolemy (2nd cent. AD), to the monk Matthew Paris (ca.1250), through to Gough (ca.1350) and the Portolan Charts of the early 16th century. However, the earliest map to attempt to include inland place-names is Gerard Mercator's map of the British Isles of 1564, where ten names are included. Then comes Christopher Saxton's map of England and Wales of 1583 with 25 names. The first map-maker to arrange inland names on a parish basis was Thomas Durham in 1595, whose work was first printed as a separate map by John Speed in 1605; his map contains 71 names. Throughout the 17th century Speed's maps were copied by others. The first to show the Island in its recognisable shape was that of Capt. Greenvile Collins in 1681. This map contains 68 names, many of which have been inaccurately copied or heard. Collins' map also influenced later map-makers, particularly Morden (1695), Moll (1724), and Kitchin (ca.1750). Apart from McKenzie's sea chart of 1760 (which gives little inland detail), the next map showing 135 inland place-names, as well as the new roads in relation to the mountains, is that of Peter Fannin of 1789. This became the model for those printed in late 18th-century tours, histories and almanacs of the Isle of Man. Fannin's map was followed by that of John Drinkwater in 1826. This was the first to define the sheadings and parishes accurately, as well as the shape and distribution of the mountains. The PN detail has increased markedly, with, for example, 17 for Michael, 11 for Ballaugh, and 10 for Jurby. Drinkwater' s map was also used as a model for guidebook maps, and was the last map to be drawn before the coming of the Ordnance Survey in 1864 (Cubbon 1967). Their first 25-inch series was published in 1869, the 6-inch series in 1870, and the 1-inch single map in 1873.

4.8. Census returns The census returns available to us date from 1841 to 1891. Access to later census data which also contain personal details is not possible owing to the Island' s 100-year restriction on access. The returns record quarterland and other farm names, as well as street names (for towns and villages) and individual house names in country areas; the house names have largely been ignored here. It is in the census returns that we witness the rise in the number of names in English, especially in the country areas, reflecting an incoming non-Manxspeaking population. We begin to see this already in the deeds from ca. 1820 onwards, cf. Bollagh (Northop) GE, Cronk y Killey (Laurel Bank) GE, etc. 4.9. Ordnance Survey name books Name books for the initial Ordnance Survey of the Isle of Man 1864-69 (housed in Southampton) were, according to the OS, lost in an air raid during the Second World War. Those that survive date from 1955-57 and 1968 (Pfeel), when a revised survey was made, updating the material gathered during the first survey, and these (except those maps designated NX, which appear also to be lost) are now housed with the Department of Local Government and Environment of the Isle of Man Government. These name books are based on the individual 6-inch sheets of the first survey. They contain some names, particularly of coastal features, gleaned from oral tradition, which are not otherwise attested in the documentary sources, and in that respect they are quite useful. The orthography of the Manx names here largely mirrors that of the census returns (cf. above). 4.10. Field*names In addition to the above described deeds our main source here is the material collected by the Manx Museum Folklife Survey. From 1949 to ca. 1975 (but also embracing material collected up to some 20 years earlier) the Folklife Survey made a substantial collection of field-names for most parishes in the Island recorded either on their maps or in their parish-based field books. The vast ma-

XX

jority of the names are in Manx. Later field-names, mostly in English, were located in the Department of Agriculture's soil analysis returns (1973-1991) available at their experimental farm at Knockaloe Mooar just south of Peel.

5. Orthography The setting books were apparently compiled annually, or whenever it was possible to collect the rent. The surviving books (from 1511(1515) to 1911) seem to be assembled in "bouts", i.e. successive books copy from the preceding ones for a period, then comes a set of minor adjustments, e.g. in name forms, which are then copied by a further series, and so on till 1704, the year of the Act of Settlement. Straight copying continues until the final series (which includes quarterland names) begins in 1869 (in some cases 1858) running on till 1911 when the rents were redeemed. Copying naturally leads to misreadings, noticeably so after 1858. So Kylfarick Ε dromma (i.e. Killpherick a Dromma GE) 1704 (thereafter in various renderings of the same) appears as Kill Garick ne dromma (for ny for y, cf. §7.13.1. below) after 1858 successively till 1911; Close ne brebbag (i.e. Close ny Brebbag GE) for 1704 continues as Close ne Cribbag(h) after 1858 till 1911. It is in this latter phase that many misreadings of this sort occur, indicating either that the name was unknown to the clerk entering the names at the time and also to succeeding clerks, or (perhaps less probably) that the name had generally fallen into disuse. Though grouped under individual treens, the principal unit, as noted above, was evidently the quarterland. The treen names seem to have been entered as a matter of course, almost certainly so by the latter phase, if not before, even though they were apparently no longer in general currency. So TR-Balladoraughan 1704, Balladouraghan 1911 (= QL-Balla-gharraghan 1704, Ballagarraghyn 1891) would almost certainly have been known at that time as Ballagarraghan/Ballagarraghyn. As in the setting books, Manx names in the deeds are generally set in "nonstandard" orthography. Nevertheless even here, except for the occasional aberrant clerk, there seems to have been a certain consistency throughout the 18th and into the 19th century, so currough, curraugh, curragh for curragh. Placename renderings seem to have become standardised, first by the Official Census

xxi (1841-1891, but especially after 1851), then by the Ordnance Survey after 1869, and these two repositories are clearly responsible for the name-forms we have today. Nevertheless, in the 1955-57 Ordnance Survey name books uncertainty as to the "correct" orthographic representation prompted the OS to seek assistance from Local Government Board agents, Post Office officials, or farmers, and on occasion the standard was set from those quarters. So Mwyllin-ny-Cleiy (Patrick) on the OS 6-inch 1870 series becomes (via the Local Government Board) Mullen-e-Cloie today, giving rise to a pronunciation something like "mullen-a-cloy" (reflecting the orthography), rather than the expected "mullena-clay" or "mullen-a-clye", the latter recorded from the informants. The version printed here (with minor adjustment) would reflect the attested pronunciation, namely Mwyllin y Chleigh. 6. Common elements in Manx place-names The linguistic history of the Isle of Man is now fairly well known among scholars of Celtic and Scandinavian studies generally and need only be briefly sketched here. Given that Man is surrounded on three sides by the island of Britain, which during the Roman period was evidently predominantly Brittonic speaking, the probability is that Man also at that time shared a dialect of that same speech with its neighbours. With perhaps the exception of the bilingual 5th/6th-cent. Ogam (Goidelic) and Latin "Knock-y-Doonee" Stone (showing elements of British speech; cf. Jackson 1953: 173) and (though an ON etymology has been proposed) the place-name Hentre (cf. W. hendref old settlement, farm, etc', parallel to Mx. shennvalley, G. sean bhaile) from the Abbeyland Bounds attached to CM (f.53r; ca. 1280), no other trace, so far as is known, of British speech is attested in the Island. Goidelic settlement in Man is reckoned to have taken place from ca.500AD, with Goidelic speech in the ascendant and continuing through the Scandinavian period to be replaced by English from the mid-nineteenth century onwards (cf. Thomson 1983, Broderick 1991). With perhaps the exception of three or four names, the Gaelic place-names of the Isle of Man (which constitute the vast majority) can be shown to be largely

xxii post-Scandinavian, i.e. formed since the end of the Scandinavian period in the 13th century (cf. Gelling 1991, Broderick 1993). In the formation of Manx place-names common elements occur again and again, as dictated by the geography, vegetation and environment., etc. The Gaelic common elements found include the following: aa, aah 'ford' Ir. dth. aaie, aiee 'kiln' Ir. dith. aittin 'gorse' G. aiteann. awin 'river' ScG. abhainn. baamey 'gap' Ir. bedrna. bailey 'farm, stead, place, village, town' G. baile. bayr 'road' Ir. bothar, ScG. bothar. beinn, bing 'peak, summit' ScG. beinn. boayl 'place, spot' G. ball. bollagh 'track, pass' G. bealach. braaid 'gullet, gorge; breast of a hill' Ir. brdgha, g. brdghad, d. brdghaid, f; ScG. brdghad, g. braghaid, m 'upper part of body leading towards the neck', breggan 'small piece ploughed in a field' Mx. brackan, cf.

7. Aspects of Manx grammar relevant to place-names The following forms are represented in Manx place-names:

XXV

7.1. Consisting of a noun only Rushen: dim. of ros, G. ros, roisean 'wood, copse; site of an old cemetery; isthmus, point, promontory; level tract of arable land'. Name of sheading (RU), parish (RU), and glen (PA). This type of name is extremely rare in Man, and apart from the name Man itself Rushen is possibly the only example of this type to have survived. There is no indefinite article in Manx, so Rushen can mean 'wood', etc, or 'a wood' etc. Though given that this type is also attested in Ireland and Scotland of pre-13th-century date, the definite article could also be implicit in an element of this type, e.g. ScG. beannan 'the peaked place'. Nouns standing alone also function as place-names in English and Scandinavian PN, and the element of definiteness is implicit and not stated, even though languages normally employ a definite article, cf. Brooke in Leicestershire and Norfolk (OE bröc), Breck in Lancashire (Sc. brekka), Dal in Denmark (Sc. dalr). 7.1.1. Morphology of nouns in Manx place-names Nouns in Manx deriving from original OIr. masc, fem, and neut. come down as either masc. or fem. From the Classical period of Manx (CMx; essentially 18th cent.) down through to Late Manx (LMx; 19th/20th cent.) nouns came more and more to be treated as masc. only, unless obviously otherwise, e.g. ben 'woman', or marked as fem. in nominal phrases, e.g. fud ny hoie 'throughout the night', cf. Ir. ar fad na h-oidhche. Many nouns used in Manx PN reflect original G. accusative/dative singular expressing "motion towards" or "rest" (in PN there may, of course, be loss of a locative preposition): Mx. thie 'house' Olr. d. taig (cf. ScG. taigh), n/a tech (neuter s-stem). Mx. bwoaillee 'cattle fold, pen' Olr. n. buaile, d. buailidh (also Mod.Ir.) (dental stem). Mx. keeill 'church, chapel' Olr. n. cell, d. (later n.) cill (ä -stem) (cf. also §6. above).

xxvi Mx. Ihiargee 'hillside, hillslope' Olr. lerg, lergach ( Mx. ushtey /uft'a/. 7.22.2. Non-palatalised variants G. iascadh 'act of fishing' -> Mx. eeastagh /jistax/. G. riasc 'waste' -> Mx. reeast /ri:st/. 7.22.3. Final /k7 in Ir/ScG. becoming /t'/, /t/ in Manx. G. easbuig 'bishop' -> Mx. aspick, aspit /a(:)spit'/, /a(:)spit/.

xxxviii 7.23. Realisation of /a/ in the environment of Irl or r- clusters In LMx. stressed short vowels, or stressed short vowels secondarily lengthened, can be realised as [0] or [0:] in the environment of /r/ or r- clusters (but also to a lesser extent in the environment of III, /b/, /d/, /g/, /m/, /η/, /l/, Is, s'/, /x/; cf. HLSM/III:44-48). In place-names, however, this development seems to be restricted to /a/ before r- clusters (realised as [0:] with loss of /-r/). This development is sometimes recognised in the attested forms. Ballargey PA [baloiga] (Ballergey 1811, 1836, Ballerga 1861). Doarlish Ard PA [do(:)lif'0:d] (Doarlish Aird 1833, Daurlisheard 1881). 8. Editorial policy In the present volume minor adjustments in the generally accepted orthography for Manx PN have occasionally been made to reflect the provenance, etc, of a given name. Thus "Ballagarraghyn" GE of the OS maps is rendered here "Ballagarraghan", with final -an, reflecting the original (Ir.) Baile Ui Dhorchdin, reduced in the Mx. reflex to /an/ because unstressed. "Kerrow" (G. ceathramh) is rendered everywhere here as "kerroo" in accordance with standard Manx orthography, even though, especially on the Northside, local pronunciation may reflect /kero/, usually written "kerrow". Treen names are given in their earliest attested form, for Michael, Ballaugh, and Jurby from LA1515. The format adopted for the place-name corpus in this volume is as follows, depending on the requirements of a given name: a) headname in bold print with any information on general location, or plot number if an Intack, b) forms of its pronunciation with attribution where attested, c) any Ordnance Survey grid reference; these can sometimes appear appended to d), usually after an ONB reference, d) any attested forms (with any accompanying descriptions or other relevant information) from documentary sources in chronological order. Names attested once only have that form in the headname,

xxxix e) (on a separate line) any meaning, giving breakdown of elements with relevant language attribution where applicable, or standard versions of those Manx Gaelic names supplied in non-standard orthography, f) (on a separate line) any linguistic, or other, discussion, g) any associated Manx Gaelic field-names, with attested forms, meaning and standard versions where applicable; with plot numbers and map attribution where attested, h) list of any field names in English. Early documentary forms cited in Kneen (1925-28) may not be shown here, particularly regarding LCB1643 and LEP, since I personally have not come across them. I get the impression that some items have been attributed an earlier date as a matter of speculation, when there is no support for it. In addition Kneen made frequent use of LCB1703. This in fact is an imperfect copy of LCB1704 made, acc. to MM records, ca.1760. For this reason I have not used it, but the original 1704 version. A number of Kneen's forms are cited from the Diocesan Register (DR). This covers a multitude of possibilities, that it has often not been possible to check the actual document Kneen may have used. In such circumstances I have simply given the DR reference cited in brackets after the relevant page in Kneen. With regard to FN it must be pointed out that field-names are allocated to a particular quarterland, etc, according to the source quoted against it at the date given. This may or may not correspond with the present-day situation. Where possible Gaelic equivalents are given for those names in Manx Gaelic and Old Norse or English etyma for those thought to be of Scandinavian or English provenance. For the Gaelic names either the Irish or Scottish Gaelic form is given, whichever is felt to be nearer the Manx reflex, or both, or G. (Gaelic) when common to both. This is done merely to illustrate the Mx. position. The appearance of Gaelic equivalents does not mean that these necessarily appear as place-name elements in Ireland or Scotland; Ir. dirghe 'shieling' (Mx. eary), for example, certainly does not appear as a place-name generic in Ireland (cf. Joyce 1869-1913, Megaw, Ε 1978, Fellows-Jensen 1980).

xl The abbreviation Mx. preceded by an asterisk, viz. *Mx, means that one of the elements in the name, often the specific, whilst obviously Gaelic, has not survived in Manx in the literature and is not found in the dictionaries. The G. (or Ir. or ScG.) equivalent will indicate the lost element in Mx. Gaelic versions in brackets merely show the Mx. form in Gaelic dress, without suggesting an equivalent. Whilst every effort has been made to be as complete as possible in assembling our place-name corpus, omissions will naturally occur. We would ask our readers to notify us of any such omissions, so that we can include them in any reprint of the work. Any mistakes that remain are my own. G.B.

Notes The earliest Deeds of Sale, so far as we have them, were recorded in Libri Cancellarii (LC). For Michael 1608-1698, Ballaugh 1624-1696, Jurby 1631-1703. Then comes a set of Old Deeds (OD). Michael Old Deeds (OD) run from 1700-1715, Ballaugh from 1700-1722, Jurby from 17051721. In some cases with the Old Deeds, recording (in the Chancery Court for the district) may take place at various times of the year (except January, May, September and October, and occasionally at other times, cf. Moore 1900/11: 750. But cf. below). The abbreviations for the various months are: Ja - January, F - February, Ma - March, A - April, Μ - May, Jn - June, Ju - July, Au - August, S - September, Ο - October, Ν - November, D - December. As from October 1723 for Michael, May 1723 for Ballaugh and Jurby Deeds of Sale were recorded twice yearly only. May and October, till Oct. 1847, thereafter monthly (cf. below). 17070D15/01707 = Old Deed of Sale no. 15, drawn up 1707, recorded in October 1707. 1782DM 1787(5) = Deed of Sale no. 5, drawn up 1782, recorded May 1787. The archive reference would be (NSS/SSS)DM1787(5). 1803DO 1804(2) = Deed of Sale no. 2 drawn up 1803, recorded October 1804. The archive number would be (NSS/SSS)D01804(2). As from Dec. 1847 the Deeds are dealt with monthly, so 1847D/F1848(11) would be Deed no. 11 for February 1848, drawn up in 1847. LA1728(1730) refers to new Intack(s), or additional PN associated with new Intacks, entered as an appendage to LA for 1728 in the year indicated in brackets, etc. LC 1649/120 refers to Liber Cancellarii for the year 1649 deed no. 120. Int. 130 would refer to the Intack of that number in LA, noted in WA. WA/96 would refer to the plot of that number, etc, in Woods' Alias 1867. WA/242T would refer to plot 242, etc, in WA and on the respective Tithe Han. Numbers in brackets after field names refer to the OS 25-Inch (1869) Series (Isle of Man).

The Sheading of Michael comprises the parishes of Kirk Michael, Kirk Mary of Ballaugh, and Kirk Patrick of Jurby, the latter two nowadays referred to by their simplified forms of Ballaugh and Jurby respectively. The parish of Kirk Michael is dedicated to St. Michael the Archangel, that of Ballaugh to the Virgin Mary, and of Jurby to St. Patrick the Apostle. The Sheading of Michael takes its name from Michael parish. In contrast to the parish dedications on the South side of the Island, which seem almost exclusively comprised of local saints' names, and hence probably of much earlier date, the dedications on the North side, in the cases of Patrick, Jurby, and Bride, involve two internationally known patrons of Ireland, Patrick the Apostle (Kirk Patrick and Jurby) and Brigid of Kildare (Kirk Bride), and seem to have taken place, according mainly to coin-hoard evidence, as a result of an apparent massive settlement from the Dublin and Meath area on the North side of Man following the battle of Clontarf (1014), but before the arrival of Godred Crovan (King Orry of Manx tradition) in 1079 (Dolley 1976, Broderick 1980).

As can be seen from the foregoing examples, the usual rendering ion Mx. of Michael, as in Kirk Michael, is Mayl, with loss of intervocalic voiceless stop. Phillips has Mial and Ni Michael 'St. Michael'; Mayl invites comparison with *Payl, as in the surnames Fayle & Quayle < ΡάΙ, so *Mdl. But G. Micheal or Michedl, with final stress, loss of intervocalic /x7, and complete reduction of the first syllable could produce Mx. Mayl. The parish of Kirk Michael is about four miles in length from North to South and some four-and-a-half miles from East to West. It is bounded on the North by the parish of Ballaugh, on the East by Kirk Christ Lezayre and Kirk Braddan, on the South by Kirk German, and on the West by the sea.

If the stress is final, sk- would initialise a stressed syllable and would remain. If intitial, skwould be medial and in Mx. would become -st- (cf.

78 Kneen (JJK443) and Marstrander (NTS/VII: 324) argue that the second element repr. the Mx.family name Croaghan or Corkan, the latter positing the following curious phonological development: Corkan -> Cro(r)kan -> Croaghan -> /kro:n/, /kru:n/, as indicated by the earlier forms. Indeed a Robert Corkan held lands in neighbouring Dromrewagh treen in LA 1515, and the family, adds Kneen, could have held Kerroo Cruin before 1515. However, forms for 1791, 1801, 1815, and 1835 suggest a fronted vowel sound, and could repr. Mx. creen, Ir. crfon 'withered, dry, sapless; dry sticks' (Di.264), especially as QL-Kerroo Cruinn adjoins that of Loughan ny Maidjey 'lough, mire of the sticks, bog timber, etc* (qv), and that the (G.) elements crfon and maide indicate the sort of vegetation pervading the general area. In addition kerroo names in Mx. are normally followed by some geographical description, e.g. doo 'black', garroo 'rought', creoi 'hard', and not, if at all, by a personal name. In such circumstances I would prefer to see here G. cruinn and crion in competition with one another, rather than postulate a suffixed surname.

So far as is known, the above is the only attestation of this name in documentary sources. • 'division, point of the forecourt' *Mx; cf. h.urlann, -ainne, f. 'forecourt, front-yard, garden, lawn' (Di.1303); see also lann, lainne, f. 'floor, house, chamber; church' (Di.630), cf. W. llan-, The Mx. form would repr. Ir. roinn/rinn na h-urlainne, w. loss of final -e in trisyllables. Marstrander (NTS/VII: 323-24) makes clear that, given the association of the place with

94 the 1422 meeting of the Tynwald Court, G. urlann, Mir. air-lann (aur-lann, ur-lann, ir-lann) 'forecourt, front-yard, front-garden, front-field, lawn', is what is meant here, and that Cronk Urley must be taken in the same context, namely not as 'hill of the eagle' (cf. Ir. iolaire), but as 'hill of the forecourt'. Kneen (JJK443) associates the Reneurling meeting of 1422 with Keeill Pharlane and adds that the "religious service and fair in connection with this Court was undoubtedly held at Keeill Pharlane". He adds also (JJK438) that Cronk Urley "was anciently called Reneurling" (though this "tradition" might be late). Marstrander (ibid) follows this with "Keeill Pharlane or 'Barth olemew's Chapel' is close at hand". However, Keeill Pharlane is in Orrisdale, some three miles away from Cronk Urley, which is on Clyeen. Unless there is another Keeill Pharlane in the vicinity of Cronk Urley, Reneurling cannot be anywhere near it, and perhaps too much has been read into its significance in the above text in ST20.

s SAMSON'S ROCK Samson's Rock ("in the glen below Chester, [and] is a remarkable pulpit-like piece of outcrop standing high above the stream...

A legend of an older type says that it was thrown here by Samson to show his strength after he was blinded, and that the marks of his fingers and thumb are imprinted on it") Gi/I: 421. Probably derives from the period when Old Testament names were in vogue as naming elements; cf. the Moses Stone above & Samson's Rock, Cranstal, in Kirk Bride.

GFJ1994 notes that suart-fjall is a common name in Norway. As Marstrander (NTS/VI: 223-24) notes, some three kilometres to the North lies the mountain Slieau Dhoo 'black mountain'; he suggests that the whole range, which (when seen, say, from the Brandywell Road) forms a single mountain block and at certain times of the year has a definite black appearance, was probably called Sartfell, possibly translating something like Doo-lieau, Ir. Duibhshliabh, not Slieau Dhoo, which with suffixed adjective

Perhaps we should regard it as a form of Balykebag, as in Kirk German (w. in the mss. developing from the writing of with an upper hook, giving the impression of two letters combined into one ligature), meaning perhaps 'green plot farm', cf.

206 Tha Parish of Jurby is some two-and-half miles in length from NE to SW and and about the same from NW to SH. It is bounded by the sea on the North and West, on the East and North-East by the parish of Kirk Andreas, on the East and South-East by the parish of Kirk Christ Lezayre, and on the South by the parish of Ballaugh. On the landward side Jurby is almost exclusively bounded by the Kiliane River and Lhen Trench and would have been more of an island in the past before the Curragh area was drained. Five bridges are crossed when coming into Jurby parish. From North to South via the East they are: the Lhen Bridge, Ballig Bridge, Collister's Bridge (also called Willow Grove Bridge), Cashin's Bridge, and Kiliane Bridge.

213 • Second element uncertain. Kneen's (JJK479) suggestion of 'Gay's farm' (Ir. Mac Giolla Dhd [?Dh£]), Anglo-Ir. Gildea, is unconvincing on phonetic grounds alone (see also Marstrander NTS/VI: 238). In any event the surname does not appear at all in Kneen's list (1937). The only suggestions I can offer are 'goose farm' or 'farm of geese', viz. (Mx.) bailey guiy, cf. Ir. ge, g. id, geidh (poet.), pi. geidhe (W. Clare)(Di.521), or 'windy farm, farm of (the) wind' Mx. bailey (ny) geay, cf. G. gaoth, gaoithe, f, which would fit the phonetics and the exx. The farm does lie in an exposed position.

But it is hard to explain the persistent final -g, which could suggest ME ragge 'rough stone', w. Eng. prep, 'by' < bi, i.e. 'at, by the rough stone', though this seems unlikely. The persistent forms in -/- suggest a connection w. (Mx.) byrragh 'sharp', Ir. biorach, i.e. something sharp or pointed. Some exx. suggest final -age (og), viz. *biorog, which makes the vowel of the first syllable quite uncertain, but the stress could argue for a long vowel in the first syllable. The farm in shape is long and narrow, sandwiched as it is between Ballachurry on the East and Ballameanagh on the West, and could give the impression of looking like a long narrow object, e.g. a spit or skewer.
