    A townland in the parish of Glenbrohane six miles south west from Galbally. It was the scene of many a faction fight between the " three year olds" and the "four year olds". The fair of Kilfeacle near Cashel was almost famous for the same reason. A man named Duggan was killed there during one of those "battles". The factions were wearing themselves out; at this time (1844) which was two years before the Famine 1846.
