Information From Joyce's Place Names

Translation according to P. W. Joyce:
Corranellistrum in Galway; round hill of the ellistrums or flaggers. See vol. ii. p. 334 [reproduced below].
Flagger. The common marsh or river flag or flagger is called felestar or felestrom; or without the f, elestar or elestrom. This last form gives name to several places called Ellistrom; but sometimes the m in the end is replaced by n (1st Vol. Part I., c. iii.), as we find in Ellistrin near Letterkenny in Donegal, and Ellistron near Ballinrobe in Mayo: - all these names meaning a place producing flaggers. In the northern counties the word usually takes an s in the beginning instead of the southern f; and the resulting form gives name to Mullanshellistragh in the parish of Cleen-flaggers; and to Lisatilister near Carrickmacross in Monaghan, in which the s is eclipsed by t - Lios-a'-tdsiolastair, the fort of the flaggers.
