   I am living in the townland of Derrygallon. It is a big townland and it has good land. There is a hill at one side of it. There are seven farmers houses' and three cottages. The old people are all dead now. There are fifty one people in the townland. There are five thatched and two slated house. There is one fort in the townland. There were two mills a grinding and a carding mill. The river Brogeen is the boundary of the two townland. This school is in the townland. We are in the barony of Duhallow. There were more houses in the townland in former times than there are now. They are all gone. The stones of some of the ruins are still to be seen.
