  1. Old Place Names

    Share Share Post
    In the townland of Glenboy there is a place called Aloonie. When a person died in that house which is built on that field, the fairies would go crying out the hill and some of them would hit the window.
    The house is situated about three miles from the town of Manorhamilton. It belongs to a man named Hugh Mac Morrow.
