    is a landmark in this part of the country.
    Caherbarnagh is a large townland in this School district. It means the fortress of the gaps, as there are many gaps in the mountain - on its southern side. After the famine, numbers of people from my district emigrated to foreign countries, especially to England and America.
    There is a lake in Caherbarnagh and it abounds with fish especially trout.
    Gurtavehy lake, south of the school and near the mountain side, is very beautiful in Summer time. Numbers come long distances fishing for trout in this lake in Summer. A stream issues from the lake which divides Gurtavehy from Tourbonia.
