  1. The Old Sod House

    Share Share Post
    About two hundred years ago there lived in Carroghill an old woman. This woman came first from Carndonagh. She lived in a small sod house and she was named Kuty Ban.
    When this old woman died after some years, the wee house went to loss. It is on the side of the Old Hill Road.
    The ruins can be seen as also the fireplace. It is on the edge of a drain
    Carroghill is situated west of the road leading to Carndonagh.
