    My Home District Taghart
    My native district is Taghart in the parish of Enniskeen and the Barony of Clonkee. There are eleven families living in it and approximately 60 people. Boylans is the most common name. There are only two thatched houses and eight slated ones. Houses were more numerous many years ago but there are four in ruins, Larkins, Mc Hughs, Greens, Markeys. Their people died years ago and left no descendants after them. This town land is not mentioned in any song or saying except for a stream that rises in this mountain and flows into Belfast Lough and nobody seems to know its name. The land is hilly and whinny and there are a couple of bogs
