   Note - "Achadh Durbcon" was the ancient name of the place now known as "Gougaun Barra" where St. Finbarr was baptized, and spent his childhood (seven years), and where he afterwards erected a church and monastery. It literally means "hound desease field" from Achadh, a field (a large tract then), durb, a disease, and con the genetive of cu, a hound

   Gabhagan Barraidh (pronounced Gougaun Barra) the source of the River Lee, means Barrys Receptacle; from gabhadh, or Gabhail, catching, or receiving - Receiving the streams from the surrounding hills.

   …………………………..
   The following translation is as literal as idiomatic change would allow.
