The name of my downland is Charleville. The Parish of Lynally, the barony of Ballycowan. There are about eight families living in Charleville. There are about thirty five people in Charleville.
All the houses are slated. None of the old people know Irish. There were probably a lot of houses in Charleville long ago.
The land is very bad. There is a wood beside our house and is called Charleville wood. There is a lake and a river, the river is called the Charleville River. There are no ruins of the houses left now. There are four people over seventy.
There is an arch under Mucklah Bridge and is called King William's arch he was supposed through it with his army on one occasion.
There are no storytellers in Charleville
