    The name of my home district in Lake-View. It is in the townland of Carrowkeel. It is situated in the parish of Moylough and in the barony of Tiaquin. There are four families in the townland and about thirty people. The family name most common is Higgins.
    Most of the houses are slated while others are thatched. There are two old people in the townland who know Irish and can tell stories both in English and Irish. Their names are Pat Carty, Lake-View, Moylough and Mrs. Carty, Lake-View. There are ten old ruins of houses in the village.
