Shevry Co Tipperary

teileann

I want to use this Irish Placename on house. (family connections to area)

On the logainm website (It will not work when I put in the web address)


Seithe Bhreighe
genitive: Sheithe Bhreighe
validated name
(Irish)

Shevry

I see mention of fairy palace and other explanations on the scanned records of
logainm ie

These explanations don't sound very exact to me as the English pronunciation does not sound like the original Irish as written above. As the Irish version is not in modern Irish, I wonder does anybody know what origin the locals have on Seithe Bhreighe?

I don't have a translation but there are a number of prehistoric monuments in the area that may have given rise to the fairy connection.

There is a barrow with some standing stones

& also an unusual mound

There is more information if you do a search on www.archaeology.ie and look up the townland.

Shevry, Kilnamanagh Upper Upperchurch Thurles

Surely there must be someone in this very small village who has the folklore of Shevry. Another idea might be to place a notice on the notice board of Thurles Public Library. If you are not living in the area you could send it to the Librarian, for replies I suggest you put your email address on same.

I actually bought the upperchurch / drombane journal this year and it seems Shervy is part of that parish. In the journal there is a drawing of a bronze age ceramic urn that was found in a sand-pit in Shevry. More on topic it probably is worth sending an email to them about the translation of Shevry. I emailed them before and they were quite fast in coming back to me.

Thanks very much for the advice.

I have emailed somebody that I got on the upperchurch / drombane journal website.
Hope they get back to me!
Thanks again to all

Cool - let us know if you get a response and what the translation is.
