The physical features described are Loch an Roisín, Rusheen Point, Cnoc Glinsce, An Charraig Leith, Caladh Beag, An Caladh Mór, Corrán, a Children's Burial Ground, Loch Bhairtle, Barr an Linnín, Cnoc Bharr an Linnín, Abhainn Bharr an Linnín, Loch Cnocán na gCalapp, Caladh Thiobóid, Loch na Dubhaí (Lough Peastia on the OS maps, from the Irish word for worm, péist), Loichín Bharr an Chriathrach, Barr an Chlaí, Loch an Chaoráin, Céibh an Chaltha Mháire, Loch an Tamhnaigh, Tamhnachaí, Loch na Liathróide, Tulach na mBan, Loch an Mheill Mhóir, Tobar Mhuire, and Cuan na Beirtrí Buí.
