The entire article appears to be an extract from some unreferenced text. Sarah777 (talk) 18:05, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Speedy keep, cleanup. The article is cut-and-paste from a 1840 (public domain) book, and I edited the article accordingly. Staszek Lem (talk) 21:01, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
 * There is no such thing as "speedy" keep. — O'Dea  (talk) 00:57, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete The problem with the article is that it's going to need an enormous amount of work to bring it up to standard, and even if it is to standard, I don't think it would be notable. It describes a townland, which is the smallest administrative and geographical division of land in Ireland, of which there are 61+k currently. Are we going to have an article for every one? In Scotland the are called settlements/townships. The problem with that, is I created a large number of such articles >300 for the Places in Highland and every one of them were eventually deleted by admins. They were simply too small in area to contain any relevant details. If there was a historical artifact, like a castle, or standing stones on it, for instance, then they were changed to a castle article. Also, the only artifacts on that bally, are a garden center, a large house and a farm, all quite non notable. If you desperate to keep the work, change it so it's a parish article. Seems to be very few parishes of Ireland articles, and the articles that leaf out of them.   scope_creep talk 18:48 12 October 2013  (UTC)
 * Well, sadly as it may be, this AfD forced me, a person way far remote from the Ireland in all senses, to figure out that in addition to the townland (small indeed) there is also a parish of the same name, which is not so small, and about which this article actually is.

 * Rewrite - The article is entirely copied and pasted from its source. — O'Dea  (talk) 18:21, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
 * No reason to mess much with the text: it is a historical document, and wikipedia is not paper, and can keep it. However the text about modern times is highly desirable. Staszek Lem (talk) 17:27, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
 * What text about "modern times"? It is historical text. — O'Dea  (talk) 13:27, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:GEOLAND. It's verified here. Northamerica1000(talk) 22:11, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
