Hollyfort Village

Hollyfort (Irish: Ráth an Chuilinn, meaning "ringfort of the holly") is a village in north County Wexford, Ireland. It lies within the townland of Mangan (Irish: an Mongán, meaning "the little swamp") in the valley of the River Bann, 5 km northwest of Gorey.

Historically it was called Rahincullin, which is an anglicisation of its Irish name.

Hollyfort Survey
The group  instigated a survey which was sent out to all households in the Hollyfort Village area and environs. 

From this, the committee put together a plan of action for the village and the clean up continues with the cutting back of over-grown and hazardous hedges and trees and the planting of flowers. The bridges over Blackwater and Bann are being cleaned up and the old walls into the village cleared back and renovated. The derelict buildings are being cleaned and painted. 
A notice board wa erected in the village and grass areas reseeded.
A village pump has been erected in its original position in the village.
