Title Knockaphreaghaun
Description Set of index cards describing some of the local features of Knockaphreaghaun, [Cnoc an Phréacháin]. Included are descriptions of Lough Appreaghaun (as it is spelled on the OS map. Mrs Kelly of Ashleam House pronouces it Loch a'fraocháin, and associates it with the bilberries that grow on islands in the lake. Most people associate it with crows). Loch na Sailí, An Chailleaichín, Gleann na Coille, Loichín an tSionnaigh, Loch Domhain, Loch na mBreac Buí, and Cora na gCarrach are all local features of this townland that are given summary descriptions. Mrs Kelly, as well as Seán Neide O'Conghaile and Paddy Folen are credited as being local sources of information.
