Title

Loch an Bhuí

Description

Set of index cards describing the local features of the townland of Loch an Bhuí [Loughawee]. Historical information from Griffith's Valuation is summarised, a note about Fernando Follin [Feargananim Folan] to say the land was disposed to Sir Thomas Meredith in 1641. Features described include Loch na Circe Fraoigh, Cnocán an Aifrinn (a hair-raising anecdote about how it got its name relayed to Tim Robinson by various local people, and with little variation), Cnoc Mordáin, and Loch an Bhuí. M. Coyne and Tom Festy are credited with providing some of the information.
