  1. My Home District

    Share Share Post
    The name of my district is Loughcrew.
    My home district is in two townlands, Knockbrack and Rahaghy. It is in the parish of Loughcrew, and in the barony of Fore.
    Most of the houses are slated. The most common name is Mahon.
    There are no woods but the Inny, a tributary of the Shannon, flows as a boundary to our land.
    The Loughcrew lakes which are on Captain Naper's estate and which belong to him, are quite near my home district. The water is going through our land from the Loughcrew lakes to the town of Oldcastle.
    Loughcrew school is about a quarter of a mile down the road from our house.
