“The name Glenascaul means the valley of the shadows.”
The name Glenascaul means the valley of the shadows. There are twenty one houses in the village now. Long ago there were about fifty houses there. There were two weavers in the village Seamus Coirc and Patch Coirc. There was one carpenter. His name was Lackey Cunniff. The ruins of their houses are still to be seen. There was a tailor in the village named Brian Ruane and his wife's name was Cáit Ireland. They all had thatched houses and the thatch was tied with straw ropes. The most common surname is McGrath. There are two graveyards in the village where the unbaptised children were buried. There are three wells in the village. One of the wells is called Tobar bun na Stabhla. The farmers in Glenascaul bought their farms under the Ardilaun act.(no title)
