Loch an Iúir
Loch an Iúir () (:lˠɔx.ə ˈɲuːɾʲ), anglicised as Loughanure,〔(Loch an Iuir ), Irish Placenames Database. Retrieved: 2010-08-17.〕〔(''Ionstraimí Reachtúla Uimhir 872 de 2004'' ), An Coimisinéir Teanga (commissioner.ie). Retrieved: 2010-08-17.〕 is a village in the north-west of County Donegal, Ireland. It is halfway between Gweedore and Dungloe, on the N56 road, in the Gaeltacht area of the Rosses. The village owes its name to the native yew tree which grows wild on Oileán Iúir, a small island on the lake.
==History==
Loch an Iúir was once a major source of agricultural lime production in the west of Donegal. Limestone was abundant in Loch an Iúir in the mid-20th century, and the locals mined it for a living. Furnaces were required to reduce the limestone to powder. These furnaces, known as "kilns", can still be seen in the village today. The kilns were ignited with turf from the surrounding bogland. One kiln is partially restored and visible at the hairpin bend on the N56. Lime was once sold as far as Arranmore, and nearly every building in the Rosses was painted white with it.
