An Gleann, Graiguenamanagh  [duchas:5029627]

About 90 years ago, the people from Ballycrinegan, and Dranagh used to go to the fair of Enniscorthy on a path way along the mountain. They could bring a horse, and car, along with them. Then they would go out on the road along way down from the top of the mountain and then through Ballindoney. They would keep going along the road until they came to Enniscorthy.
