N.B. reporting of the edit history is currently fairly unclear and misleading. Most edits made to specimens appear as a pair of 'add' and 'delete' entries, which may not be together in the list. There are also often 'minor' edits, which are made automatically (rather than due to user activity), for example to merge synonym names.

User comments about this sheet

dawn nelson wrote

is this likely to be the location?

[Roger Horton]

Irish Grid Ref Finder suggests Errisbeg on the R341, Galway, grid ref L73.

[dawn nelson]

L64 was what popped up

[oldnick]

I've seen 'Urrisbeg near Roundstone' (W Galway) on another sheet. Roundstone is L74 so all looks OK

[dawn nelson]

Yes Roundstone is a little further east

[Roger Horton]

I think we are all talking about basically the same place!

Charles Babington mentioned Urrisbeg mountain when he visited Craigha Moira (1835) near Roundstone and described Erica mackaii (mackaiana). MAGAZINE OF NATURAL HISTORY 1836 p. 126. Now written Errisbeg the mountian rises to 300m above a boggy landscape. The peak is 3km west of Roundstone village, which is on the coast.
Gridrefs are:
Roundstone village: L74
Errisbeg peak: L64
Errisbeg community along R341: L73
