    My Home District
    My home district is named Freemount, in the Barony of Duhallow, Co. Cork. There are several families in this townland, and there are a couple of hundred people. The families most common are Noonans and Murphys. The types of houses around here are generally slated. Freemount is called after John Freeman, because he went over to England and got the rents lowered for them.
    In former times, houses were more numerous, but there are none to be seen now in ruins. The land around Freemount is hilly.
