    The famine began in the year 1847 and during this time everyone was in want of food. The potato crop failed. A lot of the people of this townland died of hunger. The strongest man in Clare or Galway died of hunger on the side of the road. He was a man named Mc mahan. A lot of the people that died during the famine were buried in the Coi"ll" a graveyard near here.
