  1. The name of the townland that I live in is the Abbey. It is situated in Parish of Kilbarron and in the Barony of Tir Hugh there are twenty three families in our district and about seventy people. There are twenty three good houses and about six old-ruins. The way that the Abbey got its name was from an old Monastery that is there to the present day.
