- My home is situated in the townland of Shannaknuck in the Parish of Millstreet and in the barony of Duhallow.
Shannaknuck is situated on the South of the Blackwater. There are about seven families and there are about forty three people in it.
Corkery is the most common name there. Thatched houses are also the most common there. The reason why this townland is called Shannaknuck is because there is an old hill there.
There is one resident who is over eighty years there, and has a little knowledge of Irish.
Houses were more numerous in former times than they are at present and there are about 9 houses in ruins.
A great number of people emigrated from here to America in olden times.
This townland is not mentioned in any saying or song.
The land is boggy and wet.(continues on next page)
