Description
Set of index cards describing some of the local features of Derreennagusfoor, [Doire na gCos Fuar]. A note on the origin of the name. A local story has it that a herd hand went into the woods there, and was killed and eaten by a bull. All they found of him was his boots with the feet still in them. Brief descriptions are given of the sulphur mine, and the infant's burial ground. Paddy Folan of Scríb is credited as being a local source of information.
