   The townland in which I live is called Cabry. It is situated in the east of Inishowen. It is all fairly good land in Cabry. Cabry is a big townland. There are about thirty families living in it altogether. It is about one mile wide. There are no hills in Cabry. It is about half a mile from Cabry to the hill. The fields in Cabryare not very big. The largest of them contains only two acres. There are two shops in Cabry for the people to get their goods out of. There is also a post-office in Cabry. for the people to post their letters in, and to get their letters from. There are some pillar-stones in Cabry. These pillar stones show that there were people living in Cabry a great number of years ago.
