    Mulhill, Grier, Carrigy. Some of them are farmers and the rest of them are labourers.
    There are two thatched houses and ten slated houses in it. Long ago there were more people there than now because there are two ruins, one at H. Grier's house that Paddy Kenny lived in and the other in James Masterson's farm that Mr Reilly lived in. There are two farmers living there and most of the labours work with the farmers.
