    My district is called Tievebrack. There are four houses in it. There are three of them thatched and one of them slated. There are about twenty two people. It is all a hill. There are three rivers in it. The people are all farmers. It is all good land. The name Tievebrack means the hedge of the badger. It is situated five miles off Ballintra and eight off Pettigo.
