  2. We live in the townland of Garryduff West in the parish of Ballintemple, barony of Kilnamanagh Lower.
    The village of Dundrum is in Garryduff East, but we nowadays seldom or never hear of eigther Garryduff East or West for the district is all called Dundrum, and the parish also often gets the same name.
    The Guards Barrack, the Golden Vale Hotel, the Doctors' House are all in Garryduff West. Besides there are a few small farmers houses.
    In the village of Dundrum there are sixteen houses and about sixty of a population. The parish church and Rectory are near the village. The houses are all slated and are all more are less modern.
    The people are farmers, shopkeepers, and foresters. The land is inclined to be wet.
    The woods are the great feature of Dundrum, and they make it a beauty spot.
