    I live in the townland of Curraghvoke, in the parish of Bansha and in the Barony of Clanwilliam. There are seven families in the townland and twenty four people altogether.
    There are two iron covered houses and five slated ones.
    Thomas Kennedy is the only person over seventy years living there. The houses were more plentiful there during the famine times. There are no ruins of old houses in the townland.
    The townland of Curraghvoke is on the south side of the river Aherlow.
    There are four lakes on the mountain. They are Lough Muskry, Borheen, Diheen and Curra.
