There are four houses in ruins. The people emigrated to foreign countries. The land is not hilly but there are a few bogs in the district and the rest of the land is good. There is a fir wood growing in Pellick which is called "Pellick Wood" which covers four acres of land. The river Douglas a tributary of the Bride, runs through the district.
