- My townland is not very big but their is good grassland in it. It is called Moheraven. It got it's name from the ravens that used to be there long ago. There was woods in it long ago but the timber was all cut out of it. There is a river which flows through it and a lake. There were a good many houses in it formerly which are not in it now. None of the people speak Irish in it.
