- The name of the Townland I live in is Portlongfield. There are forty or fifty people living in it. There are about twenty families in Portlongfield. Bleakley is the most common family name.
The most of the houses are slated and some of the thatched ones are being done away with and new slated ones are being built. I have never heard how the townland got its name.
There are several people living in the townland over seventy. None of the people can speak Irish but some of them can tell stories in English. there are a few ruins of houses in the townland. I have never heard of any emigration.
The land is all(continues on next page)
