  1. (continued from previous page)
    his farm was bought by Patrick Sullivan, Finuge, who again sold it to my uncle, Thomas O'Brien, Liscullane, Lixnaw. There is a ditch near my house and there is a gap in it and the people call it "Caitineen's Gap." It is said that an old woman lived here some years ago whose name was Kate Flaherty. There is also a Blessed Well in the townland of Ballinageragh which is dedicated to Saint Michael.
    The land of Ballinageragh is generally good and fertile. There is some boggy land in the north of the townland and there is a large marsh near the railway. There is no river nor stream in it but there is a spring well very near my own house and this supplies water to the people of the townland.
