   Lissaphooca is the name of the townland in which I live which means the fort of the fairies.
   It is a very large townland. There are seven farmers living in it. We have the largest farm in it which contains one hundred and thirty acres. It is situated two miles to the south of the town of Bandon, on the top of Ardnagearra Hill which means "the hill of the berries". It is between the two main roads from Bandon to Kilbrittain. There is plentiful supply of water all the year round. There are two spring wells which never dry even in the driest summers. We have rivers bounding on the north and east side of the land.
   There is a large flat square stone in a bog which had two holes in it and when water comes in them it is said to cure warts. It is one field north of our house.
