- The Parish:
We live in the townland of Ardnagla in the parish of Ballycorick. We are in the barony of Clonderlaw. Moyarta is to the west of us, and the Island are to the east of us.
Five houses are in my townland but long ago there were five more. There were Hollarns, Eamons, Welshs Grants, and O Sheas. These houses were knocked down the period of the famine. Now the houses are slated but long ago they were thatched. The most of the land is good there are no lakes no woods and no rivers of any importance.
Ardnagla means the height of the stone walls. Long ago big walls were built from start to finish of the townland.(continues on next page)
