History
Here the Druids built forts circa 1000 BC, to protect themselves from roving bandits and wild animals. In the 16th and 17th centuries the land was owned by British landlords and Irish peasants were the sharecroppers who had to give most of their farming products to the landlords. At the present times the land of Kilnacreeva is owned and cultivated by prosperous Irish farmers.
