- (continued from previous page)not know Irish but they know alot in English.
There were a few more houses in this district long ago and the ruins are still to be seen the people died one by one and no more were re built.
It is neither mentioned in song or story because it is too small.
The land is both hilly and boggy but the tillage part is fairly good. There is a canal on the land which was made long ago to drain the slob. There are no lakes but there are alots of streams here and there around the land.
There are no bridges attached to the land. There are the ruins of a house on our land which long ago was occupied by a priest who I suppose ministered at the Church in Ardculm.
Parts of our land are very wet and for this reason my father has installed a pumping engine.
