Picturesque Ireland : a literary and artistic delineation of the natural scenery, remarkable places, historical antiquities, public buildings, ancient abbeys, towers, castles, and other romantic and attractive features of Ireland . r Orbsen Mac Alloid, the Danann navigator,commonly called Mannan Mac Lir, the Son of the Sea, from whom the Isle ofMan was also named. He was slain in battle on the west of the lake by Ullin,which circumstance gave the title of Moycullin {Magh-Ullin, the field of Ullin)to the district. The lough covers an area of 43,483 acres, and its water-shed inMayo and Galway 780,000 acres. It is supplied by several streams from theJoyce Country—the Turloughs on the east; and a subterranean communicationfrom Lough Mask, which is distant about two miles. The shores and islands of Lough Corrib are full of historical and anti-quarian interest, and have furnished Sir William Wilde with the materials for awork which must be consulted to fully enjoy the subject in detail. LoughsCorrib and Mask are separated by a ridge, from the heights of which some fineviews of both lakes are obtained. A most favorable point for observation isthe pretty village of Fairhill. Lough Mask is thirty-seven feet above Lough.
