    seventy living in the townland now.
    There are no ruins of houses to be seen in the townland now, yet it is said that there were twice as many houses in this townland.
    Many people left this townland and went to america to australia and to other countries about the time of the famine.
    The land is hilly and fairly good crop land. Dromore is bounded on one side by a small river which flows from Dromore Lough to the town of Ballinamore.
