  1. The name of my town land is Derrymore and it is in the parish of Westport. Some of the houses are thatched and more of them are slated. How the town land got its name is long ago there was a big wood of oak trees in it.
    The land in my town land is hilly and some is boggy. The name most common in my town land is Hearity. All the houses are just beside each other. There is one old man over 70 years. His name is Tom Hearity. There are seven families in my village
