Thread Name: Lyr Req: Rooskey Hill? / Rooska Hill
Subject: RE: 'The Foot of Rooskey Hill'
Hope someone can solve this one as I was born near a Rooskey in Inishowen, Donegal. The place name is very common being derived from "ruscaigh", meaning "marshy place", according to Adriam Room in his "A Dictionary of Irish Place-Names", Appletree, 1986.
