   Ballyrahan is my home district. It got its name from a rath. There is a big wood in Ballyrahan called Ballyrahan wood. It is owned by Earl Fitzwilliam. There are two rivers which divides the wood. There is one half in Ballyrahan and the other half is in Ballykelly. In the river there is a very deep hole and it is very long and wide in Summer the people swim in the hole.
