From the head of Glen Togher we crossed over the mountains a distance of about 2 1/2 miles in search of Lough Unn and the townland of Mineleavin about the latter of which we could get no information excepting that the inhabitants informed us that they heard from the sappers that the name of it was Mineleavin, they themselves never having heard any name for it but the Quarter land of Drung. Where the sappers found the name no body knows, but it is conjectured that they by authority made the name themselves!
