- My Home District is Móin Fionn or Monevawn. The word Monevawn means "A bog covered with whitish grass" It is in the barony of Kilnamanagh. The word Kilnamanagh means "The wood of the monks". This is how Monevown got its name. There was once a bog there covered with whitish grass. There is no bog visible now but there is still a field called "the bog field". It is in the parish of Cappawhite.
There are seven families in the townland. These are their names Mr. Ryan, Mr. Conway, Mr. Crowe and Mr. Carroll. There are three people over seventy years namely, Mrs. Cavanagh, Mrs. Fahy and Mr. Fitzgerald.
There is good land in Monevawn. Most of the people have farms. They keep a good number of cattle. Only one farmer keeps sheep. There were not more families there long ago. There is not any ruin of a house there.(continues on next page)
