What is recorded here
Inis Mhic an Doirn is a small Atlantic island off County Donegal where ambitious British fishing works collapsed into sand dunes within a decade. William Burton Conyngham built streets, a customs house and a net factory there in the 1780s, then renamed the place after Charles Manners, 4th Duke of Rutland. The herring left, the buildings buried, and ordinary life continued beside the ruins until holiday homes replaced most of it.
Inis Mhic an Doirn is recorded as a island in County Donegal. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.
