The townland of Drumcullion, in which I live is situated in the Parish of kinawley and in the Barony of Tullyhaw. There are twenty six people living in it. There are four homes inhabited and there is a house which was inhabited some years ago, but is now an old ruin. Most of the houses are thatched.
There is only one old person over seventy in the townland of Drumcullion Mrs Gilheany. There are not as many houses in it now as there were formerly. Some of them are in ruins. Years ago people used to emigrate to America.The land here is very good. There are some small hills in it. There is no boggy land in it. There is a small stream dividing it from Drumboory. There is a river dividing it from Derryralt. There are some woods about the district, but the commonest type of trees that grow in Drumcullion is the holly.
Drumcullion is surrounded by the townlands of Drumboory, Derryralt, Gubrawooly and Drumcar.
It is about half way between Swanlinbar and Bawnboy. Drumcullion means the hill of the holly.

There was a man in the townland of Derryralt called Bernard McGoldrick. He was the best swimmer in the district. He could swim with one arm and he could swin without using either arm. He swam three times to the island in Brackley Lake.There was a man in the townland of Drumbagh called Peter McManus. He was a famous dancer. One fair day he was in Swanlinbar and he was drunk. The guards brought him into the Barracks and he began to talk to them. He asked if any of them could dance '' Peter O Pee ''. They told him they could not. He told them to get him a big pot and he would dance '' Peter O Pee '' for them. They brought him the pot and he turned it upside down. He danced Peter O Pee from one foot of the pot to another.
