ISLANDS
Annagh
description from Lewis's Topographical Dictionary of Ireland, 1837
ANNAGH, an island, in the parish of KILCOMMON, barony of ERRIS, county of MAYO, and province of CONNAUGHT, 28 miles (S. by E.) from Belmullet; containing 6 inhabitants.
This island is situated in the bay of Tulloghane, on the western coast, and near the entrance of the sound of Achill ; it is separated from the mainland of Ballycroy by a narrow sound to which it gives name, and is the property of Sir Richard O'Donnell, Bart., from whom it is rented by the inhabitants of the village of Claggan-Caferky. The greater portion of the land is mountainous, but affords very good pasture, and there is a salmon and herring fishery, which, if properly managed, might be rendered very lucrative.
