- (continued from previous page)scarcely any ruined houses in the district, because when people were building new houses they used the stones of the old ones to build the new ones.
The people of Dundrum are scattered all over the world United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and even Africa.
The land in Garryduff is good but wet and suited more for grazing than tilling and there is no bog land in it. There is no river of any size but there is a lake called the Duck Pond, and although it is small, it is very prettily situated in the wood.
- I live in the townland of Gurtrush. Gurtrush is in the parish of Ballintemple. Both are in the barony of Kilnamanagh Lower. It begins at the village cross. There are about 16 houses. The land is hilly, and dry. There is no lake or river in it but there is a very big wood. The houses are mostly slated. The name most common is Ryan. Gurtrush means the red field because the soil is red.
