- I live in the townland of Knockaveen. It is so called because "Knockaveen" means a little hill and it is on the slope of this hill the townland is situated. It is nicely situated on the south west of the parish of Scarriff and therefore it has a south western aspect. The land of the locality though not very fertile is able to produce crops sufficient for the maintainence of its people.There are five households in the locality, namely, Mrs. Minogue's, Miss Purcell's, Mr. James Minogue's, Mr. Pat Crotty's and Mrs. Tim Treacys.

There are no old people in the district the last of them passed away(continues on next page)
