Description
Set of index cards describing some of the local features of the townland of Ballynew [An Baile Nua]. Descriptions are given of a 'pair of standing stones', Fuaigh an Sconsa (Ooeyasconsa on the OS maps, and known locally as Fo na Sconsaí), Fó na Bróinge (Tim Robinson believes the cove may be named for its boot-like shape), Fó na Labhráis (Ooeylaunlauraush on the OS maps), Fó na Bhistí, Fuaigh an Duine Mhairbe (Ooeywaria on the OS maps), Binn Ghlais, Fó an Uisce, Fó an Bhradáin, Megalithic tombs close to the Children's Burial Ground, Lios (the site of the former Mission School), and the Shrine, which marks the traditional site of St. Ceannan's beheading. J O'Toole of Moyard, Mr. Heanue of Bundouglas, and Con Mullen of Ballynew are credited with providing some of the information.
