Description
Set of index cards describing the local features of the townland of Maíros/ Maighros [Moyrus]. Several notes on the different formats and spellings of the townland's name. Some of the local features described include Forrest View House, Trá Mhaighrois, Fraochoileán (Freaghillaun on the OS maps), Carraigh Raghnaill and Leathreach Raighnaill (an anecdote about how it is haunted by the hound of a friar), Garbh Charraig, Reilig Mhaighrois, Sruthán Sianach/Tobar Sianach (Toberskeenagh Holy Well on the OS maps), Roisín a tSamha, Cibh an Droighne, Portach Mhaighrois, Abhainn an Mhuilinn (which marks the border between Maighros and An Coillín), Inis Bigir (Bigger's Island on the OS maps). A note in Seán Mac Giollarnath's 'Annála Beaga an Iorras Aitheanta' about buried treasure left there by a 'ceithearnach' (possibly a peasant) from Dumhaigh Ithir. A note about the ruins of the Mission School and Parsonage, which was also the site of a church in the past, but no trace of the church remains. A few graves are to be found, most notably that of Archibald Thomas Hamilton (see Leitir Seanaidh). Various local sources informed the information gathered on this placename, as indicated by the word 'local' on many cards.
