[Page] 137Transcriber's notes
There is a missing word in the last sentence of the Description remarks for the place name "Tigheary". The missing word is part of the meaning of the word "Tigheary" and is rendered illegible because of the fold of the page. Gaelic "tig/dig" translates into English as "furrow", but no dictionary or website offers a translation for "heary", "hary" or "harry".Transcribers who have contributed to this page.
