Re: Ballacregga (Michael)
In Response To: Ballacregga (Michael) ()

Ballacregga is about 0.5 miles from K Michael village on the Peel Road. It is a farm of about 100 acres and reaches from the sea cliff [many acres lost to sea erosion-- about 1 metre per year] to higher ground called the Cooildarry. The soil is sandy. For most part of the 20c it was farmed by the Corkill family-who were the last farmers in the parish to use draft horses.
