    these candles in the house of Joseph Moran, Streamstown, The Pigeons P"O Athlone.
    There are two old houses on Mrs O'Rourkes land one was an old castle, but the greater part is knocked. It is used as a shed for cattle now. It seems that it was very big and high. When you rout about twenty yards away from it, it is all stones. There is only an angle of it left. There are many windows in it. In the other house there are all small holes all through it.
    There is a house on Mr O'Meara's land. The house is at one end of the house. The fire place is at one end of the house.
