    (continued from previous page)
    moor land which produces good crops and the remainder is good clay land. The bog, were we cut turf is convenient to us, being at the back of the village.
    My townland is called Drimacoo, which means "the hound's back", because when you look at it from a distance it looks like a hound's back.
