  2. My Own District

    Share Share Post
    Lignanoonig[?] is the name of my own district. It is a small place. There are not many houses in it now as there here long ago. There are 7 houses in it now, and long ago there were 14 or 15 in it. The houses are nearly all small thatched except 2. The parish in which Lignanorrig [?] is in is Drunholn [?]. There is one big lake in it called Lough Rone. There are some small rivers in it also.
