  1. My Home Townland.
    The name of my townland is Churchpark.
    There are three families in it. There are twenty three people in three families.
    There is no common name in it. They are all different.
    The three houses are slated. One of them is a farmers house and the other two are tenants houses. There are no real old people in the townland.
    There were four old houses in this townland long ago but there are no ruins of them at all now.
    People went to America and elsewhere from the townland long ago.
    There is no song or saying about the townland.
    There are two woods in the townland but there is only a name on one of them, it is the "Round O".
    There are three streams running through the townland and there is no pond in it.
