    to America. The people died out of them and when no one lived in them they gradually fell into ruin. The town land is not mentioned in any song or saying.

There are several small streams running through the district but they are of no great importance. There is only one small lake called Lough Glore bordering on the district. I never heard any story connected with these streams or with the Lake.
