  1. My Home District

    Share Share Post
    My home district is Killeen. It is so called because there was a little church in it in ancient times. There is no trace of it now and no one can tell anything about it. The towland is called Barna which means a gap but where the gap was no one knows. Killeen is a very small district. There are only 3 families living in it. There are no old people living there. No one could tell me an old story about it, either in Irish or English.
