- (continued from previous page)forty years ago. There is a mixture of boggy and good land. It is a very level townsland. It is separated from Ballycommon by a small stream and it is separated from Wood of O by another small stream. The streams have no names. A canal runs through my home district. This canal is a branch of the Grand Canal.
