The usual type of house here is short and low, and thatched, and the few that are slated are new and two-storeys in height. This village is in the shape of a shoulder, and from this, it got the name "Larraga", meaning a shoulder. Only two very old people live here, and they are both over eighty, but I do not think they know much Irish.

The people that lived in them are dead, but their descendants emigrated to America, and they all got on well. No song or poem was ever composed about this Townland.
