   There is no old person in the townland who can talk Irish. There are the Ruins of an old castle situated in Doone, which was once held by the Fords, who were noted duellists. They were known to possess pistols, that never missed. People emigrated to America in former years. The land is hilly in parts but it is all good tillage with very little pasture or bog-land.
