- I live in Enagh West Virginia, in the parish and barony of Castlerahan.
It is a small townland. On the southern side is a wood and Lough Ramor. On the northern side is Slieve Reenan. There is a hill in the centre of the townland, which adds greatly to its beauty.
There are only eight families living in it, and thirty people. Most of the people are under seventy ascept Mrs Lynch and Pat Farrelly. Farrelly is the name most common. There are two Farrelly families in it. There is good fertile land in it. Enagh got its name from the Irish word ''aonac'' which means a fair.
There were far more families in it long ago compared with what is in it at present.
Some of them were evicted by the cruel land lords and more families went to America.
