Description

Set of index cards describing some of the local features of the townland of Killymongaun, [Coill Uí Mhongáin]. Included are descriptions of the rock at Killymongaun, a grave which is rumoured locally to be that of "the man the curate shot" (reference to An tAth Maoilre at Doire Bhrón, who shot a spy who tracked him down). Also described are Lough Kippaun, a Ringfort, Doire Bhrón, Waterloo Bridge, Curragh More, Clisham's Cliff, and Loch a Phéacháin. A letter from Paul Mohr in 1990, Rory Lavelle, and Ritchie Savage are credited with providing some of the local information.
