    Old Grange is the next townland to Móin Riabhach. Fortland is on the south side of Easkey town. There is a big house beside it, visitors come from all over the World to see it. Baile na h-aibhne is the town of the river. Abhann beag gets its name from the little river that runs through it. Caltra adjoins Cugheadh and cughadh means the fifth part. The riddle is a very important place. There is a big stone there and people come not only from other parts of Ireland but from all over the World. Ballymena is a very Historical place as St. Farannan's well is situated there. Our Parish Priest erected a Statue there a few years ago and is getting more and more important every day since.
