    There are no ruins in the townland. Only a few people emigrated to America. It is good grass land and good meadow land but it is not suitable for tillage. There is no wood growing in the townland now. The river Brosna flows northward between Dernagun and Pullough and there is a small river which divides Lemonaghan from Dernagun and flows into the Brosna beside Pollough. There are also three rivers which meet at this place. The Brosna, The Silver River, and a brook, and it is a wonderful place for fishing.
