    Near the town of Killorglin there once lived an old man named Forglan.
    Forglan is supposed to have built a church, as he was a very holy man. The ruins of the old church are still to be seen. Near the church was a little village, it was like a lane, with small wooden huts on each side. This little was called Kilforglain which means Forglan's church.
    There are not any tiding of this little village there now
