Dunnamaggin (officially Dunnamaggan; Irish: Dún Iomagáin, meaning 'Fort of Iomagán'[1]) is a small village in the south County Kilkenny, Ireland, on the R699 road between Callan and Knocktopher, east of its intersection with the R697 between Kells and Kilmoganny.
[4] Dunnamaggin has a national school and a credit union.
[5] It gives its name to the Catholic parish, which also includes the villages of Kilmoganny and Kells.
In the nineteenth century Eugene O'Curry and John O'Donovan both rendered the name into Irish as Dún na mBogán "Fort of the [softness]", the last word interpreted by O'Curry as "soft eggs" and by O'Donovan as "bogs".
