    former years. One was situated about two hundred yards from our outhouse and another one in Mr. Dorans beside the present residence. There are not any ruins except a piece of a wall now acting as a fence.
    One family emigrated to America.
    Some of the land is hilly and boggy, and the rest is fit for tillage.
    One stream is dividing Drominoona and Ballyaglish and a lake is to be found in the district.
    Drominoona means Noonans hill because Noonans once lived there.
