  1. (continued from previous page)
    If Regan had to have done the same,
    To him I would attach no blame,
    During his existence.
    Notes:
    Maggie Gamble had a public house at Roosky Cross-Roads. The Barrack was Coroneary R.I.C. Barrack.
    This ballard was composed by Isaih McCheaney[?] of Drumhilla. He wrote several ballads.

  2. In a field belonging to Joseph Jones of Cavanskeldra there is an unusually small ring fort perched on a hight in the field between his house and the road. The ring has not a greater diameter than about 20 feet. It is surrounded by a hedge of old whitethorn. It might be more correctly described as a mound with a flat top than as a fort of the usual structure. It is indicated on O.S. map No.
