 under reservoir at Knockaderry and plantations. There 

 are 14 farm holdings and labourers' cottages on the gather- 

 ing ground. The farms have the right of water for cattle,

 with gathering ground of 675 acres in Glendiue Mountain 

 in Ballintoor and Deelish townlands, mountain grazing with 

 one house upon it. The Council own none of the land.

 elevation, comprising 977 acres of mountain grazing and 

 100 acres of arable land. The Council own only the site 

 of the filter beds, about ^ acre. There are 5 or 6 farm- 

 steads on the gathering ground, but the danger of con-

 small proportion of arable land and the great extent of 

 poorly grazed mountain waste, with marshy land in the 

 valley.

 nakilla, Ballynabrannagh, Ballyvatta, Clash, Condonstown,
