- Killimor
The name of my townland is Killimor. It is called after a saint named Iomar. The ruins of his church are in the church yard yet. There re about fifty-four families in Killimor and near three-hundred people. The nearest town to Killimor is Portumna. The most of the houses in the townland are slated. There are many old people in Killimor, they are well able to tell stories in English but not in Irish. There are many rivers near the town as Rusheeny river and the river Shannon.
