“It is said that Loch Láir got its name from a horse and foal, that were in Freigh, that used to come there every day...”
About a hundred years ago there came a very fine year.
So fine was the year, that the (year that) people nearly died for the want of water.
At that time there was another lake over near Loch Láir and it dried up.
This lake is called "The Dry Lake"
Isle Breach got its name from a lake that is there and in the middle of this lake is a (lake) little Island called Isle Breach, which means "The Speckled Island".
Con's Hill got its name from a man who owned it named Con Curtin who lived in the Main St. about 22 years ago.(continues on next page)
