  1. My Home District

    Share Share Post
    The name of my townland is Ballineroad. There are seventeen families + eighty one people in the townland.
    Ryan is the most common name in the district.
    Thatched houses are the plentiest, slated are very scarce. Most of the houses are of the old fashioned make.
    It is not known how it got its name. There are no people over seventy living there.
    There were more houses in the townland long ago + the ruins are still to be seen. The land is level + futile.
    There is no wood in the district. There is one stream. It rises on Oulart Hill + flows to Ballymoty ill near Enniscorty in the Co Wexford.
