    Sam and Mrs Kingston. There is a bog in the townland and people cut turf in it. People emigrated from it to America. Some of the land is hilly some boggy and some good. There is a river flowing through it. Long ago there was a man named Robert Johnston coming from Schull. He carried the horse to the river for a drink. The horse and car got turned. The man was under the car and he got drowned.
