Connemara area info needed

rowr · 2014-07-17 15:04:20

As a Galwegian who isn't overly familiar with Connemara, I was asked recently by a friend doing some family history research to where Derrough, Maam Cross was. I couldn't pin anything on google maps, so the spelling might be wrong. Anybody any knowledge?

It might be the first road on left as you go through Maam Cross on the way to Clifden. I think there are only a couple of houses in that road. Derroogh.
