    There are three houses in our townsland. The names of the families are Byrnes, Morris's and Carey's. Byrnes live in a thatched house. Morris's is also a thatched house, Careys live in a slated house.
    There are seven people in our townsland. Some people went to America, others went to England. It is said there were three times as many people in our townland in olden times and twice as many houses. There are the ruins of the houses there still. There were two houses people names Lees had.
    The land is hilly and fairly good. It is also boggy.
