    Seanmuillin is the name of one of them. It was called that name because there was a mill there about fifty years ago. It was worked by the power of the river. There is no name on the other river.
    There are about 250 acres of land in this village. There are about ten acres of it bog. The people cut turf in it some-times. The meaning of Tabhanach-mór is:- chose the big horse. But I do not know how it got its name.
