    Canbrack is the name of my village. The reason why this district got its name is because of the rocky hills and fields that are in this place. These hills were covered with grey rocks or stones. Nearly all these stones have been removed now.
    The people called part of this village the sean-baile, because long ago the people had all their houses close to each other in the middle of the village.
