Translation Please

My Elizabeth O'Reilly was born 20 March 1847 in Kingscourt, Cavan (According to my research).

Family Search has place of birth as

Dun An Ri, Enniskeen.

Is this the same place - what does Dun An Ri mean?

Thank You,

It's the same place.
A Dun is a very old type of settlement and  Ri is King

Basically... fort of the king
