Plaque, Loch an Iuir

English translation, "Erected in honour of the men who won their livelihood from the lime" From Wikipedia article on the village "Loch an Iúir was once a major source of agricultural lime production in the west of Donegal. Limestone was abundant ... in the mid-20th century, and the locals mined it for a living. [Limekilns] can still be seen in the village today." Pictured here B8116 : Cairn, Loughanure
