This is a central td. It is bounded on all sides by the td. of Carrowoughteragh.
It contains 4a. 3r. 26p., and is inhabited by four families, who consider it as their own property. It gives the best crops of wheat in the county.


When searching for a placename type some or all of the word and click search. If you are unsure of the spelling try a part of the word . For example the placename Mocharra sounds like Moharra so if you search for arra you should find it. For example a placename record ( eg Rostaff ) gives the townland ( eg Moyne ) and the civil parish ( eg Shrule ) .
