    Crummy
    I live in the townland of Crummy, in the parish of Kiltubrid, in the Barony of Leitrim. There are eighty one people in it and twenty families. The most common name in it is McWeeney and Flynn. Most of the houses are one story thatched. Crummy is supposed to get its name from a crooket ridge. There are two rivers in it namely the Aghaslane river and the Crummy river. Both flow off Sliabh an Iarann mountain it to Lough Scur. There are a great deal of old ruins of houses in the district. In olden times a great many families emegrated from this townland to America. The town land is not mentioned in any song or story. The land in it is rough and hilly.
