Description

Set of index cards describing geographical features, the naming, and the lore of Aircín Mór [Arkeen More]. Descriptions of Loch Reddington, Loch Thaidhg, Loch Fhamhnóg Fhraoi (referred to elsewhere as Lough Tromnóg Ree, and located between Aircín Mór and Doire Mhic Reoin), Dooloughaunarkeen, and Loch Oileáin Mhór.
