  1. I live in the town land of Reavouler in the Parish of Kilmaceaba. Reavouler got its name from the Drisc[?] "Boulders" There are about ten families in Reavouler and about 120 poeple. There is a big wood in our farm and a bridge called CoínígeaR. There is a cross at the south side of the wood It was a road used long ago, it is a narrow road breaking off the public road, and is called Croirín na saintá. Long ago, there was a man riding a horse along that road when he suddenly met a white woman who followed him across ditches and brakes. The man crossed a river and he saw her no more. THere are heights of graves and ruins of head stones ina part of that road. It ends going out on the public road again between Reavouler and Kellinga. Old people say that there were people beuried there, the time of the Famine
