“The Irish name for Cappagh is An Cheapach.” Have you heard that name before? Maybe not. The name Cappagh itself, however, is actually quite common in Ireland. It’s a place name that refers to a hill or a ridge. This particular Cappagh, the one we are standing in front of now on the outskirts of Dublin, has a unique history. The name might have originated from an ancient settlement here. Over time, this place evolved from a small village to a flourishing hub of farming activities. Today, it’s a quiet suburb of Dublin; most of the land has been overtaken by beautiful gardens and sprawling houses. You can still see faint traces of the past in the name and the landscape, but Cappagh today lives in peaceful modern times.
