The village had, in 2004 and 2005, seen some redevelopment on the expansive "fairfield" or village green.[citation needed] Before the advent of the modern cattle-mart, this green was the venue of one of the largest livestock markets in Munster.[citation needed] This market died out in the 1970s.[citation needed]
The village is near the southern edge of the area known as Sliabh Luachra.
