    The townland in which i live is Redgate. The real name is Clonconane or in Irish, Cluain Conáin, Conan's Meadow.
    The houses are all slated now. The remains of a couple of the old thatched homes may still be seen. There were far more people in this townland long ago. Many of them settled down in America.
    McMahon is the principal name. There is only one man over seventy and he has not Irish. The land is rich and fertile. It is a great plain and it is good meadow-land.
