droichead = bridge in Irish
The word “droichead” comes from the Old Irish “drochet” < “droch” (wheel) + “sét” (way), which gave us also the Scottish “drochaid” and the Manx “droghad”.
Many Irish place names come from the word “droichead”. The most known is the town of “Droichead Átha” (Drogheda) meaning “a bridge of a ford”. This is one of the oldest Irish towns (founded in 911 AD) located north of Dublin.
