- (continued from previous page)names in the townland are Bakers.
The land is very good for tillage and for meadowing and they have good cattle to sell out of it every year.
There is no old ruin in the place only the church at Kiltoola. There is a ruin of an old house in which a man named Patrick Baker lived. He was generally called Harper. He was no good of a farmer. When he would sow a garden of potatoes. He would not do anything with them only leave them there and dig a few to eat and leave the rest in the ground. He is dead now.
There was a well in the Townland where a few houses used get water and there was a drain running out from it and Harper closed the drain and the well removed to another field. Then he used to drink eggs near it and throw the shells near it and it removed again and it is in the same place all the time.
