  1. My Own Townland

    Share Share Post
    The name of the townland I live in Shanacluan. It is in the parish of Tuogh and in the Barony of Dunkerron North
    There are 17 houses in my townland now but there were 32 houses there long ago. All the houses in this townland are slated but there are 2 ironed houses and there are only two thatched ones.
    Shanacluan got its name because Shanacluan Shanara and Shanavalla were all one farm long ago and the portion of it that is called Shanacluan was used for feeding cattle. There are five people over 70 years in Shanacluan
