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.

Cannot localise.

Perhaps how this river got its name?? 'Local MLA and councillor George Savage said: "Following a visit to the Closet River near where it flows into Lough Neagh I was appalled to note the foul state of the River due to the discharge of effluent from the nearby Ballinacor Sewage Works. " (interweb)

[johned]

None of the Ballinacors on Google Maps is anywhere near Lough Neagh, so I am still unable to locate the poetically named Closet River. Any ideas?

[Roger Horton]

Google ["Closet River" Ireland] leads to Wikipedia entry for Derrymacash which identifies this river which enters Lough Neagh at about J044610. The sewage works is to the SW at J030590

Brilliant - sorry I've only just seen this
