Kilnacreeva

A number of forts were built in the area c. 1000 BC, to protect the inhabitants from roving bandits and wild animals.^{[citation needed]} 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. As of the 21st century, the land in Kilnacreeva is owned and cultivated by farmers.^{[citation needed]}
