And you take a place like Roundwood on Talker is the Irish name.
Jim BrophyGUEST

And if you see Talker in any name, it means that there was... a crossing there, a bridge.
Jim BrophyGUEST
45:03
It really boils down to a bridge.
Jim BrophyGUEST

Jim BrophyGUEST

So obviously in Roundwood, there was water flowing from the mountain way down towards the other part of Wicklow.
Jim BrophyGUEST
45:26
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.
