Settlement cluster in Glantrasna

Settlement cluster

What is recorded here

Glantrasna holds a forgotten cluster of booths beneath the name Coom na mbothán. The valley may have swarmed with temporary shelters, trading stalls or seasonal cabins before human memory faded. People likely gathered there to escape rain, share food or conduct quiet business away from permanent walls. The absence of ruins does not erase the shape of the valley or the purpose suggested by its name.
B. Ó Ciobháin recorded the placename 'Coom na mbothán' in this townland (SMR file). There is no precise location for this settlement and it is not known locally.
