    Close by Dugort, at the base of Slievemore mountain (670 metres) lies the Deserted Village. The village was gradually abandoned because of the many evictions for non-payment of rent during Sr Richard O’Donnell’s tenure, the 1845-49 famines and the emigration throughout the successive years.

      An impressive, isolated village of ruins, located on the mountainside and accessible by foot. Heinrich Böll describes it in his Irish diary and it remains unchanged.
