    The name of my townland is Coolbawn. It is situated in the barony of Clonmahon and in the parish of Ballintemple. There are seven families and forty - two people living in it.
    The family most common in it is "Fitzpatricks". There are two people over seventy years living in it. They are not much good at telling stories. There is the ruins of one old house called by nickname "Rosies Walls". The land is rocky in Coolbawn and contains a lot of whins.
    There are no rivers or lakes in it but there are many streams.
