What is recorded here

Oileán an Bhráighe, the island of the captive, sits low in Mulroy Bay, its red winter grass and green fields visible from Rossapenna's dunes. It belonged to the people who farmed and breathed its seaweed air, not to the lord who wished to strip it for cattle. A woman's lease broke his hunger, and the island kept its life. Even Mars now bears its name, a small red stone answering the bay across the dark.
Oileán an Bhráighe is recorded as a islet in County Donegal. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.
