On the Walsh farm in Knockahoney, Civil Parish Kilmacteige, County Sligo, there are two homes, one in front of the other. The newer home, now abandoned, was build c1940s. The home in the rear, where James Walsh, Ellen's brother lived until he died, has deteriorated and is now overgrown with vegetation.
