  1. My home is in the Parks in the townland of Norria. Our parish is Cloncha and it lies in the barony of Inishowen.
    There are about six families in the district. It is a nice district. It lies between the two roads leading to Malin Head and is just about half a mile from the village.
    There are plenty of trees in the district. The land is fairly good but it is not suitable for the growing of wheat.
    There are many rocks in the ground and some streams flow between the fields.
    A river runs along one side separating it from the next townland.
    There are no old castles or forts in the district.
