- (continued from previous page)in Corcamore Mrs. Meskill, Mrs. Lynch and Mrs. Hall who are over 70 years. There are three old houses in our district. There is a song about Carrig and Sweet Corcamore. Many people sing it. The land is low flat and and boggy. That is how it gets its name Corcamore - the big Corcass. It lies on the banks of the Shannon and the Maigue.
- "I live in Clarina. There is a castle in Clarina but it is occupied at present. It was formerly owned by Lord Clarina - a family called Massey. Lord Clarina's family went to England. The land was divided some years ago. Part of the castle was burned accidentally. It is now occupied by a family called King. In years gone by there was a big wood on the Clarina estate. But when Mr. King bought the castle the wood was cut down and sold. There are only a few scattered trees there now at the edge of the domain. A little river runs through the estate. It is called the "Massey" river after Lord Clarina's family"
