Transcriber's notes
In 'Description remarks' for the place name "Knock Alioter", I have determined that a faded word is in fact "Sheaginish" but have added in square brackets "[Siginish]" because I see that the place name "Siginish" follows "Knock Alioter" on this same page and that the variation "Sheaginish" has been deleted from that entryTranscribers who have contributed to this page.
