    My Home District
    My home district is Boheroe. There are four houses in it namely our own, Callerys, Gavins and Meehans. It is in the parish of Elphin and in the Barony of Frenchpark. The houses are one-storey, three-roomed, thatched, dwellings.
    There was a red sandstone in this district and so it got its name from "Bothar Ruadh" which means "Red Road".
    The number of people living in Boheroe is fifteen. This townland is mentioned in a song called The Plan of Boheroe.
    Told by Mrs Moran (46), Boheroe, Elphin.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
