"The river dividing the counties of Tyrone and Donegal on the north mearing of Templecarn receives the drainage of Lough Derg. It is about 40 feet wide and bound about 5 miles of this parish, falling from west to east, and is from 400 to 600 feet above the sea. Lough Derg, from whence flows at its north eastern corner a rapid stream, received but few tributary waters; yet it is supposed sufficient in the mass to account for the whole overflow without supposing it to possess natural springs in itself."
