Agharaskilly (''origin uncertain'') is a townland in the civil parish of Tomregan, County Cavan, Ireland. It lies within the former barony of Loughtee Lower.〔 ==Etymology== The derivation of townland name is uncertain. It has been suggested that it may come from an anglicisation of the Irish placename ''Achadh chroise coille'' meaning "field of the cross of the wood"〔 or ''Achadh Ros Choille'' which means "Field of the Grove of Trees". Alternative meanings which have been suggested are "Cattlefield of the Cross of the Church", "Field of the Boar's Wood" and "Field of the Crossroads in the Wood". The earliest surviving mention of the townland is in a grant dated 10 August 1607 from King James I to Sir Garrett Moore of Mellifont where it is spelled ''Aghcrossekille''. On the 1609 Plantation of Ulster map of the barony of Loughtee, it is spelt ''Reskellew''. A 1627 grant spells it as ''Aghocrossekeillie''. The 1641 Rebellion Depositions spell it variously as ''Aghroskilly'', ''Agheraskilly'' and ''Aighroskillow''. The will of Terence Donocky dated 1735 spells it as ''Augharaskillane''. ==Geography== A sub-division of the townland is Derryliffe which is an anglicisation of the Gaelic placename ''Doire Life'' which means "The Oak-Wood of Liffey". Agharaskilly is bounded on the north by Cullyleenan townland, on the east by Mullaghduff & Cavanagh townlands, on the south by Cloncollow, Slievebrickan, Fartrin & Killarah townlands and on the west by Cormeen and Lecharrownahone townlands. Its chief geographical features are the Shannon–Erne Waterway, which flows north along the western boundary of the townland, and several small drumlin hills reaching to above sea-level.〔 Agharaskilly is traversed by the Killeshandra road and some minor lanes. The townland covers ,〔 including of water.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Agharaskilly」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
