    Place Names.
    In our district are many place names such as Ard an Dun, Ard More.
    Gorta Muineagh. Gorta Gore Gort na Uarran.
    Meadan Ban is sloping land; it is not rough but it is dry and sandy.
    Crops are taken off it every year it is well laboured; and it runs up into the hill.
    Gorta Muineagh and Gorta Gore are a flat mossy district. Peat and fir and bedding grow plentifully.
    A road runs through this district so that the farmers can get their peats or anything that they want.
    Ardmore is the name of a road and district which runs from Iskaheen hills to the shore.
    The land is rich and fertile and dry and good for cropping and most of the ditches are built of stones.
