    My Townland
    The name of my townland is Ballincurry. It is situated half-way between Ballymoe and Creggs. There are 21 families and 119 people. Ballincurry was once a small town surrounded by a marsh. Traces of this marsh are still to be found between Cloocagh and Ballincurry. The townland of Ballincurry is separated from Cloonfaughna by a small river.
    There are (seventy six ) people over seventy years of age and two of those can speak Irish fluently. Their names are Padraic Dowd, and Thomas Lohan.
