   THE GLORY HOLE

   This is in the townland of Stranagarvanagh. It is a hollowed place with a bank above it.

   
   RE SALACH ?

   This is a wet marshy piece of ground in the townland of Carntulla. I think this is a corruption of Srath Salach.

   
   POLL GORM

   This is the name of a hole in the Carntullagh River beside Denis McHugh's bridge near the Slievenakilla School. This river separates the townlands of Stranagarvanagh and Carntulla. The hole contains blue gravel into which a person would easily sink.

The people used to beat their donkeys so much that one man said it should be called the yard of tanning. This why it was called the "Tan-yard".
