  1. In the year 1798 the French landed in Killala.
    They passed through this locality on a road now owned by Mr. Anthony Flynn.
    This road was the Carriage Drive at that time.
    That was the only road at the time that was leading to Ballina or any other town. This road is not as much used now as there is a good road leading from the Ballina-Crossmolina road to Rappa and other townlands. It is supposed they came up through a road in the townland of Rappa now owned by Mrs. John O'Hara, Cloonkee, Rathnamaugh, Crossmolina.
