I can't stop laughing at:

"However, some of Milne’s other interpretations suggest that he was a man who knew some Gaelic and wanted to show it off, rather than someone with a deep grasp of onomastics."

Lucky for him you weren't around back then to stick a pin in his balloon of self-importance, lol.

In case it's of any interest regarding pre-SSS references to Pulvrenan, Pont marks the Kirk of Knock Andich suggesting that it wasn't known as Pulvrenan at that time (at least to him) but that it was a known church site.
