  1. The name of my townland is Derreens. The name of my parish is Ballysakeery and the name of Barony is Tyrawley. The number of families is eight, and the number of people is thirty five. The most common name is Walsh.
    Five of the houses are thatched and two slated. In former times five other houses were in this townland. There is one in ruins now. Five families emigrated.
    The land is good but parts of it is boggy.
