  1. The name of my home district is Dreenaclough. It is in the parish of Schull and in the barony of West Carbery. There are some families living in it. There are thirty people living in the townland. Long ago there were more people living in it but some of them went to America. The land is hilly and good. There is a bog in our land and we cut turf in it. There is a river as a boundary between Dreenaclough and Derrycarhoon.
