I live in the townland of Moymet which is in the parish of Kilbride.
There are sixteen houses with a population of forty one. The most of the houses are slated but others are thatched. There are not very many old people on Moymet there are only five over seventy.
Long ago there more houses but now the half of them are old ruins. The people long ago used to go to America to earn their money.
The land is very fertile in Moymet but the most of it is tilled. There is only one wood in Moymet.
