    district. In my fathers farm there are the ruins of four houses. The people emigrated to America in their thousands. From year to year crowds left together. The land is very hilly and in many places there are gravel and sand pits, and quarries. Some of the land is boggy, but some parts are very good. On the mountain there is a little lake called "Loughan". The water flows underground and it is the purest water one could drink.
