[Gowlan]
"There is a large mountain stream through the centre of the townland. It generally overflows its banks in winter and floods the low parts of the townland during the winter months. The soil is consequently cold and light, yielding poor crops of oats & potatoes. There is no county cess levied, as the townland is considered as mountain." [Desc. Rem.];
