I live in the townsland of Jamestown. Jamestown is derived from the Irish word Baile Shéamuis or "the Town of James". These are the names of other Townslands near my home ÷ Kilmanahan, Owning, Tinnakilly, Bally Patrick, Corbally and the Sweep. Kilmanahan is derived from Cill Mhannaichín or Mainchin's Church. The ruins are still to be seen. Owning is derived from Uaine or green. Tinnakilly or Tigh na Coille or the house in the wood. Bally Patrick is derived from Baile Phádraig which means Patrick's Town. Corbally is derived from Corr-Bhalle or the odd town.

It was supposed to be hidden in an earthenware crock. The old people often talked about it but they were not believed until some years afterwards, when the field had been tilled and when the men that were ploughing it found to there surprise the stone which very much resembled a diamond about two inches long an a quarter of an inch wide.
It was rolled in moss and was very uneven. Another story is

The image of our loving Lord reflected from thy brow
A saint, a priest, a trusted friend, Thou wert all three in one
Thy heavenly toils are over now
Thy heavenly crown is won
Few priests have graced the altar steps
As worthily as thee
Thou has followed thy Saviours footsteps
To the Hill of Calvary
But oh, to think that thou art gone
That on this earth no more
That smiling face and laughing brow
We never can see more.Written by Miss Annie M. Daly Corbally. She was born in the parish 71 years ago about 1867, and at an early age emigrated to Australia returning to Ireland in 1907.
She was a Captain of Cumann na mBan in this area and did grand work for Ireland in the Anglo Irish and Civil Wars. She still lives in Corbally.

Old Forts
(Brendan Donnelly, Dooras)There is an old fort in the townland of Dooras. It is surrounded by a double ditch of whitethorn. There is another in Cloonheevan and another in Corbally. Nobody seems to know really what there were for. I have examined them all myself and they are all the same, and the bushes look very old. My mother said she heard from old people that before the evictions took place in Dooras, where the people were living near this fort, it was 'common' land, and everybody had cattle on it. She also tells me that Martin Smyth, father of James Smyth, often told her that on one occasion when he was working near the fort it was in the summer time and being very warm he lay down and fell asleep. He was

King KieranB. Donnelly, Dooras.This story was told to me by James Smyth. He says that he often heard it from John Barrett who died about thirty years ago a very old man. John was about to go to the fair of Cappatagle with the Callaghans of Corbally, and was to meet them on the Dooras road at four o'clock a.m. He went to bed early and when he awoke he got up but he did not know what time it was as he had no clock. He started out along the Dooras road. He came to a bush where he stood to light his pipe, when suddenly a little man appeared and asked for a light. He was about three feet in height, dressed in an old fashioned manner, and he wore a long beard. The little man said his name was
