==Etymology== A map of 1634 marked the village as Machaeracate and Clough Castle as (meaning "stone castle of the plain of the cat") or ("stone castle of the plain of battles"). These variants derive from a local legend associated with a large wildcat, or records of a battle (cath) in the area in the 12th century.
