Rossinver alias Dartry’ (bl. 1505) de réir Breifne 13 (1970) lch. 55

Rossinvir – Now Rossinver, takes its name, says Joyce (Irish Names etc.) from a point of land running into the south part of Lough Melvin - in Irish, Rosinbhir, i.e. the peninsula of the inver or river mouth. This parish is partly in the barony of Carbury, co. of Sligo, but chiefly in that of Rosclogher, co. of Leitrim. On the eastern shore of Lough Melvin are the ruins of an ancient church, supposed to have been that of the nunnery of Daire-Melle (the oakwood of St. Melle), which St. Tigernach founded for his mouth[sic. Mother?] St. Melle, who died there before the year 787. (See Colgan’s Acta Sanctorum, p. 796). (Ann. Ult, 241). [= Derryvella, TÁ]
