    is good and here and there are hills. There are four woods in the district. The names of the woods are Lackies Wood, Brackloonan Wood, Cnoc na h-uain Wood and the Black Wood.
    The old people say that after Bishop Donellans death he was seen walking in Cnoc na h-uain Wood at nightfall. The Black Wood is at the back of Killaghmore House. There is a small burial place in this wood. It is surrounded by a railing and five members of the Donellan family are buried there.
