Roderic O'Flaherty, in his unpublished account of West Connaught, written for Sir William Petty's intended Atlas,i. e. A chorographical description of West or h-Iar Connaught, ed. J. Hardiman. (Dublin 1846). says that the boats of Lough Orbsen (now Lough Corrib), were carried by land on this occasion from Bunbonan, on Lough Orbsen, to Iomaire, on Lionain, a distance of five miles [recte six miles and a half]. His words are, ‘Imaire an linain, anciently Linan Kinn mara, is a long green spot of land by the sea of Coelshalyroe [now Killary], whither the boats of Lough Orbsen were drawn by the forces of West Connaught and Hy-Fiachry Aidhne from Bonbona to the sea for five miles, anno 1235, to invade the sea islands there, upon an expedition into the Owles by Maurice Fitz-Gerald, Lord Justice of Ireland; Richard De Burgo, Lord of Connaught; Hugh De Lacy, Earl of Ulster; the Lord Walter Riddlesford, with the English forces of Leinster, and the Lord John Cogan, with the English forces of Munster, in pursuit of a party of O'Connors, belonging to Felim O'Connor, King of Connaught.’
