Brackney, "No. 5. The result of this trial gave a depth of 36 feet of

Brackney, No. 6, is the position of one of Mr. Brough's trials, of 

 which, as before stated, there is no record left. 



A boring was made by Mr. Dnnsmore in the townland of Ballyvoy. 

 The site of it is 53 perches northward from the cross roads at the 

 pound, and eight perches west of the high road leading from those 

 cross roads to the shore. This boring was 72 yards deep, all in sand.
