  1. This townland is situated about 1/4 of a mile outside the village on the Baltray Road. There are eleven houses and a population of 50. There is a wood nearby.
    On the left hand side of the road there is a mound and it is said that there was a man riding by on horseback long ago and he fell off and was killed.
    It was the custom then for everyone going by to throw a stone on the side of the road there and it is quite big and high now with stones.
