BSW2 15. Meenaguse Lough

Speaker: Patsy McNulty
From the Bluestack Way Part 2 playlist.
Meenaguse Lough sits on a glacial deposit and together with the small lake to the east may represent ‘kettle hole’ lakes. These lakes formed as the ice sheets retreated, leaving behind large blocks of ice, isolated from the main ice mass, which were partially or completely buried by sand and gravel. When the ice melted, hollows were left which now often contain lakes. The derelict house on the north side of the road with abundant fuchsia surrounding it was the residence of the aforementioned Bob Bermen during the 1970s.
In our audio piece, Patsy tells us a funny story about the house with no road.
