    " ... The River Maine originates from a spring rising in a conical, oval-shaped depression at Tobermaing in County Kerry, situated approximately a quarter mile east of Tobermaing House at an elevation of about 100 feet (30 m) above sea level.[7] This source lies in the southern slopes of the Stack's Mountains, where the upper reaches are also known as the Shanowen River, a primary headwater of the Maine system.[6] From Tobermaing, the river flows westward, passing near and through the town of Castleisland, where it is joined by the Little Maine tributary.[1][6] ... ...

    From logainm, Tobermaing / Tobar Mainge is in the barony of Trughanacmy / Triúcha an Aicme. The civil parish is Castleisland / Oileán Ciarraí.

    Loads of literary and historical references for the name Tobermaing, and its evolution. Gotta love logainm!

    Castleisland
    An old record states "Sometimes a stream will come up to the surface, and having flowed upon it for some time, will disappear again to some cavity and resume its subterranean progress". Of this there is an instance at the head of the River Maine which flows into Castlemaine Harbour. The stream rises at Tobermaing, which is situated in a hollow measuring 100 by 60 yards, and 40 to 50 feet deep. Having flowed on the surface of the ground for 35 yards, the stream sinks and rises again a quarter of a mile off, by the roadside on the south of Tobermaing House.
    (Kerryman, 25 February 1950)

    The NIAH says Detached three-bay two-storey country house, built c.1810, facing north, having bowed entrance bay, two-bay side elevations, slightly recessed single-bay single-storey addition to east end, and multiple-bay two- and three-storey additions to rear elevation, built onto front of four-storey tower house of c.1585, and makes a passing reference to the "Seymour mausoleum" nearby.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    On the record for the Mausoleum, it says The family mausoleum of the Seymours, who acquired Ballymore Castle and its lands around 1700 and remained there until the early twentieth century, so the Seymours probably owned the castle at the time of this pic.

    There seems to be several Ballymore Castles. I don't think this is today's Galway one -

    Census for 1901 shows a house belonging to a WG Seymour in the townland, but it is vacant.
