Hi just looking at a house to rent in this village. I got a bit of a shock when i turned up. Its just a bunch of houses in a strange collection not really an estate. they seemed a bit all over the place in design and i think a lot are owned or lived in by travelling community. does anyine know this place?

Think it's better known as "The Baskin" rather than it's townland name, definite hodgepodge of designs and house built on backyards, side gardens etc. but can't say as I've heard of much trouble there

There is an existing traveller settlement down there I believe and they are building them some permanent housing:

That looks to be an extension of the existing traveller housing on Stockhole Lane.
