J
44:43Jim BrophyGUEST
I can't remember it offhand at the moment what the explanation is, but because of something in the area.
J
44:49Jim BrophyGUEST
And you take a place like Roundwood on Talker is the Irish name.
J
44:55Jim BrophyGUEST
And if you see Talker in any name, it means that there was... a crossing there, a bridge.
J
45:03Jim BrophyGUEST
It really boils down to a bridge.
J
45:06Jim BrophyGUEST
And in the early, way back in the early centuries, there was no such thing as bridges, of course.
J
45:11Jim BrophyGUEST
You threw down trees and stones and crossed the water.
J
45:17Jim BrophyGUEST
So obviously in Roundwood, there was water flowing from the mountain way down towards the other part of Wicklow.
J
45:26Jim BrophyGUEST
and apparently it must have been a path and people crossed there and as a result they built this bridge themselves and they walked over the stones and the trees or whatever and then it became the talker and there are several of those in Wicklow which always indicates that it was a place where water passed through.
