The Norse-Irish and Antrobus, Cheshire.

This article discusses the origins of the name of the Cheshire parish of Antrobus in northern England. The author believes that the origins of this town's name can be traced to the Gaelic term an trebthas, which translates to the farm or the dwelling. The likely origins of this place name in the migration of Norse Irish settlers to the region in the tenth century is considered. The evidence in favor of the theory of Norse Irish settlement is framed in terms of the apparent historical openness of this land to settlement in the tenth century.
