Title Leitir Deiscirt
Description Set of index cards describing some of the natural physical features of the townland of Leitir Deiscirt [Letterdeskert]. Gleann na Teorann, Cora na Rón, Cnoc Leitir Deiscirt, An Charraig Bhuí, Garraí an Altóir, and just east of that, Tobar na Seacht nIníon, or the well of the seven sisters. A local man identified as Mac Giolla Phádraig believed the seven sisters to have been nuns, there is also speculation that they were the daughters of a British King, or daughters of the King of Leinster. Carraig Anama (possibly Carrickonama on the OS maps) also described. As well as Mac Giolla Phádraig, Sgt. P Ó'Conghaile is also credited with providing some of the information.
