  1. (continued from previous page)
    Connaught Rangers camped there. Tom Hunt, Cournameltha, Boyle, has on his land a hill called Carraig an Draoi. On the old road to Boyle from Garrow is a hill called "The Brick Hill." It is called by that name because bricks were made there long ago. The fields behind Pat Mulhern's house in Garrow are called "Shamóige."
