  1. Teac Chollain is the Irish name for Stackallen. I also learned that it was called Ty Aluinn. Nobody knows who was Collain. There are several traces of olden times round here. There is a place called Lis near this school and there is supposed to be a cave in it. There is also a rath and a mound in this district called "The Moat." It is not high like the Moat in Nowth, Navan and Nobber. It is about ten feet high and forty feet across.
