- I live in the townland of Rockhill in the parish of Drumholm and in the Barony of Tir Hugh. There are about fourteen families in the townland and there are about seventy people. Walsh is the most common name. Some of the houses are slated and some thatched. Rockhill got its name from the hill of the rocks. There are about seven or eight people over seventy. Their names are Mrs. O’Donnell, Andrew O’Donnell, Mrs. Langan, Mr. Reilly, Mick Travers and Mrs. Walsh. Mrs. O’Donnell and Andrew O’Donnell speak Irish. Some of the old people can tell stories in English. There were far more houses long ago than there is now. There are about nine or ten in ruins. Some of the people emigrated to America and other places.The land is very hilly. There is no woods growing in the district. There are no rivers lakes or streams nor there are no stories told about them.
