    Sruhaun, Baltinglass, Co. Wicklow.
    The name of the townsland in which I live is Sruhaun, it is so called from a little stream which rises in the middle of one of Mr. James P. Brien's fields and then flows by the side of a ditch till it reaches the Slaney. In the winter it often overflows and bursts over the road. (Rawson field it is so called because a man named Rawson lived there.)
    No man's land is also another place, and it is on my father's farm.
