    Our home district is Killeshandra which means the church of the old fort, and which is situated in the town-land of Portaliff. Long ago the town did not stand where it does to day, it was situated at Croghan, a short distance away, where the McKiernan clan held sway.
    Croghan is a quiet spot to day, yet its memory lives as it gives its name "Croghan Leaguers to the local football team.
