- (continued from previous page)people living in it called Barney McLaughlin and Philip Diver. They can tell stories in English but they do not know any Irish because Irish was banned by the English when they were at school. Barney McLaughlin is seventy-five year's old, and Philip Diver is eighty year's old.There are two ruins of houses in the townland. The names of the people who lived in them were Micky Ruddy and Eddie McLaughlin. They both died and had no families.There is a small River which rises in Slieve Sneact and run's through my Townland. It joins the Glentogher River at the Gallwilly Bridge. There are two fords on the river called McLaughlin's ford and McGuinness ford. The land is not very good but the people make some money on turf which they sell in the town of Carndonagh at five shillings per load.
