Neagh

Neagh, Lough, the largest lake of the United Kingdom, is in North Ireland, and has Antrim on the N. and E., Armagh on the S., and Tyrone and Londonderry on the W. There are few islands, the shores are swampy, and the lough receives the Bann, Blackwater, Maine, and Bullinderry, while the northern outlet communicates with the Lower Bann. Owing to its slight elevation, the lake, which is 17 miles long, 11 wide, and contains 153 square miles, might easily be drained.
