  1. (continued from previous page)
    townsland got its name. The houses are slated. They were twice the number of houses there before the famine as they are now. There is one wood in it and it covers ten acres. There is a stream called Ruppa stream. There was a cloud-burst near the source of the stream in Blessington. It overflowed the stream which carried huge boulders with it and completely blocked its mouth and also the Cappa side of the Nore. The muddy water flowed to the far side of the river and flowed on that side until it reached Inistioge. The land is good and level.
