Title

Glionnán / Gleannán

Description

Set of index cards describing some of the natural physical features of the townland of Glionnán/Gleannán [Glennaun]. Anecdotal information from the Annála Beaga, and reference to Ferdinando Follin [Feargananim Folan], the landowner in 1641, later disposed to Sir Thomas Meredith. By the time of the sale of the Martin Estate in 1849, the land was used by tenants for putting cattle out to pasture. Features described include Tamhnach na gCoileach, Cnocán an Bhodaigh, Loch Fhada Ghlionnáin [Glennaun Lodge on the OS maps], and Aill Mhór Ghlionnáin. Some of the information Tim Robinson found for Glennán was in a letter by Eoin Ó'Néill. Seán Ó'Ceoinín is also a local source of information.
