Offaly. It extends mostly in a north south direction, from nearly the Grand Canal on the north, to about two miles from Kilcormac to the south. It is all bog country. The Bord na Mona has a peat-harvesting operation in the townland, which has an extensive series of railway tracks for transporting the harvested turf.
