Spectacularly situated on the shores of Lough Corrib, Cong is one of the most beautiful and historic villages in Ireland. It owes its special character to its location on an island in the middle of the River Cong. It owes its name to the isthmus or 'narrows' from the Irish word cunga, which separates Lough Mask and Lough Corrib, two of the finest wild trout fisheries in Europe. The rising of waters at Cong and the myriad of underground streams and Caverns beneath the area has captivated people for millennia. Congs strategic location has drawn hunter-gatherers, farmers, soldiers, kings, monks and adventurers for almost 7000 years. There are many Archaeological sites & Caves to be discovered around Cong and the surrounding area that we would be happy to show you.

Loughs Carra, Mask and Corrib; Resources, Borders and Passageways
Loughs Carra, Mask and Corrib; resources, borders and passageways A National Heritage Week 2020 Project by the Joyce Country and Western Lakes Heritage Network Introduction: Loughs Carra, Mask and Corrib are all connected with all their waters draining into the Atlantic Ocean. Their origins lie in the surrounding bedrock and the moving ice that dominated the Irish landscape. Today they are landscape icons, angling paradise and drinking water reservoirs but they have also shaped the communities on their shores. This project, the first of the Joyce Country and Western Lakes Heritage Network, explores the relationships that the people from the local towns and villages have had with these lakes, how they were perceived, how they were used and how they have been embedded in their history. The project consists of a series of short articles on various subjects that were composed by heritage officers of the local community councils and members of the local historical societies. They will dwell on the geological origin of the lakes, evidence of the first people living on their shores, local traditions and historical events and the inspiration that they offered to artists over the years. These articles are collated in this document for online publication on the Joyce Country and Western Lakes Geopark Project website (www.joycecountrygeoparkproject.ie) as well as on the website of the various heritage societies and initiatives of the local communities. Individual articles – some bilingual as a large part of the area is in the Gaeltacht – will be shared over social media on a daily basis for the duration of National Heritage Week.

Cave Notes: County Mayo, Ireland
Proc. Univ. Bristol Spelaeol. Soc., 2014, 26 (2), 185-200 CAVE NOTES: COUNTY MAYO, IRELAND by JACOB PODESTA ABSTRACT Following the 2012 visit, when wet conditions rendered many of the caves inaccessible or dangerous (Hadfield, 2013), a UBSS team visited Co. Mayo again, focusing mainly on the area in and around Cong. The caves visited are described, and new surveys are presented. INTRODUCTION It has been decided to release an updated and extended edition of the book, The Caves of County Clare and South Galway (Mullan, 2003), with additional sections on the caves of the north of Galway and of Co. Mayo in time for the Society’s centenary in 2019. The majority of the new sites are in the Cong area and two visits have so far been conducted by members of the Society, with further visits planned. The notes from the second of these trips are presented below, along with information on Quealy’s Cave, kindly provided by Tony Boycott and Pat Cronin. By linking this work with other information on the caves around Cong it is hoped that a more comprehensive overview of the region can be produced, allowing future efforts to be better directed. Complete surveys have been produced of Wolves’ Hole, Priest’s Hole, Lady’s Buttery, Horse Discovery and Bunnadober Lake Cave. With the exception of Priest’s Hole, which has no accessible water and no diving potential, all these caves have been surveyed up to the start of the diving lines in the hope being that survey data collected for the dry sections of caves can ultimately be linked with data from surveys of the dived sections.

Annotated List of the Birds of Lough Carra
ANNOTATED LIST OF THE BIRDS OF LOUGH CARRA Last updated June 2012 This list includes all species for which we have found records, together with those from our own observations since 2000. We have compared the recent records with those of Ruttledge (1929) in order to give some indication of changes that have occurred over around eighty years. These changes are often a result of changing agricultural practices and land use patterns. If a species appears to have the same status as reported by Ruttledge, no comparison is made. The list includes 138 species, of which at least 83 have been recorded as breeding on or near the lake. Great northern diver Seen occasionally during winter months (e.g. IWeBS counts in 2002 and 2010); Ruttledge noted that it occurred on Lough Mask. Little grebe Resident and breeding in small numbers. There are usually between 20 and 30 individuals on the lake in late autumn/early winter (with a recent highest count of 34), but numbers usually dwindle as the winter progresses. Meehan (see his thesis on this website) estimated the breeding population to be around 6 pairs but noted that this was possibly an underestimate. Even so, it is not an abundant species on Lough Carra. Great crested grebe Resident, summer visitor and passage migrant in spring. There is a breeding “colony” close to the gull colony islands just South of the Kilkeeran peninsula, with up to six or seven pairs nesting in close proximity to each other. Meehan (see his thesis on this website) estimated the lake’s total breeding population to be 7-10 pairs in 2005 and 13 pairs in 2006.

A Survey of the Lough Mask Breeding Gull Population
A survey of the Lough Mask breeding gull population by Jackie Hunt and Marie Louise Heffernan November, 2006 This project was funded by the Heritage Council under the Wildlife Grant Scheme, 2006 (Wildlife Grant Ref: 14768) and by the National Parks and Wildlife Service. i Lough Mask Breeding Gull Survey 2006 SUMMARY Between 1977 and 2000 breeding gulls suffered dramatic declines on Connaught’s inland lakes. Numbers of Lesser Black-backed Gull and Black-headed Gull crashed by over 80% and numbers of Common Gull by 75%. Herring and Great Black- backed Gulls are now largely absent as a breeding species. While gulls are still nesting at all five of Connaught’s inland lakes, the main breeding numbers are now concentrated on Loughs Corrib and Lough Mask. The aim of this project was to census the breeding gull population on Lough Mask, to establish which islands were being used by nesting gulls and to gather data on breeding success. It was hoped that this project might provide some insight into the reasons for the drastic declines in gull numbers on Connaught’s inland lakes. The 2006 survey found 1200 pairs of Black-headed Gull, 282 pairs of Lesser Black- backed Gull and 410 pairs of Common Gull. Compared to 1977 the nesting gull population on Lough Mask appears to be stable. However, productivity data revealed breeding success to be moderate to poor at all but one colony. Clutch size data was comparable to that recorded in 1977 and comparison of laying and hatching dates found that laying began about a week earlier in 2006 than in 1977.

The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers
THE LIST of CHURCH OF IRELAND PARISH REGISTERS A Colour-coded Resource Accounting For What Survives; Where It Is; & With Additional Information of Copies, Transcripts and Online Indexes SEPTEMBER 2021 The List of Parish Registers The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers was originally compiled in-house for the Public Record Office of Ireland (PROI), now the National Archives of Ireland (NAI), by Miss Margaret Griffith (1911-2001) Deputy Keeper of the PROI during the 1950s. Griffith’s original list (which was titled the Table of Parochial Records and Copies) was based on inventories returned by the parochial officers about the year 1875/6, and thereafter corrected in the light of subsequent events - most particularly the tragic destruction of the PROI in 1922 when over 500 collections were destroyed. A table showing the position before 1922 had been published in July 1891 as an appendix to the 23rd Report of the Deputy Keeper of the Public Records Office of Ireland. In the light of the 1922 fire, the list changed dramatically – the large numbers of collections underlined indicated that they had been destroyed by fire in 1922. The List has been updated regularly since 1984, when PROI agreed that the RCB Library should be the place of deposit for Church of Ireland registers. Under the tenure of Dr Raymond Refaussé, the Church’s first professional archivist, the work of gathering in registers and other local records from local custody was carried out in earnest and today the RCB Library’s parish collections number 1,114. The Library is also responsible for the care of registers that remain in local custody, although until they are transferred it is difficult to ascertain exactly what dates are covered.
