The civil parish boundary between Kilmakilloge and Kilnahue parishes follows this borderline between the townlands. Lackan and Bolacreen lie from 2 to 3 miles NNW of Gorey town. There are eight Annagh townlands which lie to the NNW of these two, all in Kilnahue civil parish (although there is another Wexford Annagh townland in Monamolin civil parish, 7 miles south of Gorey town). The townlands of Pallis Upper and Lower, and Parishill lie immediately east of these Annagh townlands, across the Bann River and into Kilnenor CP. All of these above thirteen townlands are nestled together, and all are within 5 miles of each other. Pete ....................................................
