Notes: The Schools Collection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The following excerpt has been taken from the Schools Collection which is essentially a gathering of local folklore that Irish school children were asked to compile during the 1930\u00e2\u20ac™s. The following story describes the townland of Crosserlough in great detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transcribed from the above story.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘My home district is Crosserlough. It is in the parish of Crosserlough and in the County Cavan. It is a fairly large townland and there are about twenty five families in it. There are about one hundred and forty people living in it. The Cusack name is the most common family name in this townland. The houses are nearly all thatched and most of them are built of stone.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Long ago there was a chapel on a hill over a lake in this district and there was a high Cross on the chapel. The Cross was partly over the lake and it got its name from the Cross over the lake or Cross-Ar-loc. There is about eight old people living in it but they do not know any Irish<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is fairly hilly land but it is good ground for growing corn and potatoes. There is a river dividing the townland from Dumseridian. The river is unimportant but it drains the surface water from the land around it and flows south towards Loc Sheelin’.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
