  1. The First Stone House

    Share Share Post
    The first stone house that was ever built in the Meentrag [?] was built on a farm in Meenaduff.
    The farm is in the possession of Hugh Barr, who is a local farmer residing in Meenaduff.
    Meenaduff is situated near the main road on the way to Clonmany.
    This house is called "Toigh Cloichaibh" or the "Stone House". It was built three hundred years ago. The ruins are there yet. It was built by a man called Micky Barr, who came from near Derry.
