   My home district is Bonnington. It is in the parish of Collinstown and it is in the barony of Fore east. There are three houses in it, O'Neills, Colemans, and Gilsenans. Gilsenans house is now unoccupied. There is an old ruin of a house beside it. It is the only ruin that is in my home district. The land is not boggy. Lough Deel is bordered by Bonnington. The Deel river flows out of it. There is a wood in front of Coleman's house. Mrs Coleman is the only woman over seventy that is still living in the district. She cannot tell stories in Irish but she can tell stories in English. The houses are all slated and are not long built.
