    Baralty is situated in the middle of the mountains. Long ago there was no road leading into the village only a path and it was difficult for the people to leave the village. There are only four houses in the village now but long ago there were fourteen houses in the village. The four families are Morans.
    All the fences are covered with whins. There is a certain place in the village called "Alta shammar" where some of the Danes were buried. The meaning of Baralty is the top of the cliff.
