- Carrig o Gunnell is the townload in which I live. There are five families living in this townland. Their names are Gleeson, Hall, Collins, Normoyle, O'Sullivan. Carrig got its name from a rock (Carraig) on which the castle is built. It is an old ruin now. Four families are dead and gone. The old people tell stories in English but not in Irish. There is an old woman living in Ballybrown. Her age is 84. She is very good for telling stories. Her name and address are Mrs Murphy, Ballybrown, Clarina, Co. Limerick.
