Muckanaghederdauhaulia

Muckanaghederdauhaulia (Irish: Muiceanach idir Dhá Sháile, meaning 'pig-marsh between two sea inlets')[2][3] is a 503-acre (204 ha)[1] townland in the civil parish of Kilcummin in County Galway, Ireland.

It is in the poor law union of Oughterard in the barony of Moycullen.

[10] The population recorded in those census reports which provided figures at townland level were as follows:[11][9] The area is mentioned in Georges Perec's novel Life: A User's Manual: "In between, there had been the little harbour of Muckanaghederdauhaulia, not far from Costelloe, in Ireland’s Camus Bay...".
