There are nine dewlling houses, five shops and a post office in it. There are two schools and a barrack also. The population of Ballyforan is 83 people. There are the ruins of an old mill about a half-mile from Ballyforan. It was built about a hundred years ago by Mr. Kenny who lived in Ballyforan lodge.
