  1. Ballynulty is the name of my district. It is in the parish and barony of Kilmaine.
    There were four houses in the town land long ago. There are now seven houses in it. They are all slated. The town-land is so called because an Ulsterman owned it one time. There is only one person over 70 in the place. His name is Redmond Walsh. A good deal of the people emigrated to America.
    The land is good and dry. There is a wood in the faron called the "Oak wood" because big oaks grow in it.
