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.

Lough Cluhar??

[Roger Horton]

'Lough Cluhir', apparently means Sheltered Lake in Irish, and lies near Listarkin in West Cork. I think the date may be 1835 and this fits with several other JJB specimens. The lake may be enchanted, see Wikipedia on Ivor O'Donovan!

Cannot give you a grid ref. as the site I use for Ireland is down at the moment.

Site back again: Lough Cluhir W202324, so 10km square W23.
