    My Home District
    The name of the district that I live in is called Garrynamishauru. It got it's name from all the primroses that grow there. There are eight families in this district, and of the eight, four of them are Mintons.
    It is a nicely situated district, and there are two or three small woods there. The trunk road runs close by those houses. A part of the battle of Aughrim was fought around this district, and I found some bullets in the ploughed land around here.
    It is a fairly hilly district, but the land is very good. There is a very good spring well and in the Summer time when all the other wells would be dry, people come to this well for water.
    (Dermot Minton, Aughrim Hill)
