I highly recommend watching this recently uploaded video on youtube by the Roscommon County Council
The video covers County Roscommon and has a segment about Arigna Mine and Kilronan Castle, which is particular interesting to our McManus research.
Well Done !
The arrival of a number of McManus families to settle in Ardnanure and Nure would have gone unnoticed and indeed unrecorded were it not for Nure’s great local Historian the Late Kieran McManus (1874-1973) who related to Folklore Collector James Delaney in 1961 that several centuries ago, the McManus’s in Nure and Ardnanure hailed from the North of Ireland.
JP McManus is the owner, whose grandfather was from Arigna, County Roscommon.
