    the lake of the pigs?

    Tá cuma thrédhearcach ar an logainm béarlaithe seo ar an gcéad fhéachaint. Ach ní léir cad dó a thagródh an chéad eilimint loch, más é atá ann. Níl aon loch anseo ach linn bheag ar imeall thoir theas an bhaile fearainn, ná níl aon rian de loch stairiúil sa chuntas ar cháilíocht na talún ar www.epa.ie. Tá an baile fearainn beag bídeach seo (4 acra) caol fada dronuilleogach.
