- The name of the townsland in which I am living in, is called Fahee, it is in the parish of Kilmacow, and it is in the barony of Iverk. There are nine families in Fahee. There are thirtyseven people in the townsland of Fahee. Quinn is the most common name in the townsland. The houses are all slated ones. There are only one person in Fahee who is over 70 years of age.
