This small village, consisting only of a few thatched cabins, is situated on the road from Charleville to Ballingarry, and gives name to the R. C. union or district, comprising the parishes of Castletown-Conyers, Kilmeedy and Drumcollogher; the chapel is a small building. Not far distant are the remains of a heathen temple.—See CASTLETOWN-CONYERS.
