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, 7 km northwest of Gorey.
Historically it was called Rahincullin, which is an anglicisation of its Irish name.

Unity Gospel Choir Rocks Hollyfort
The Unity Gospel Choir rocked Hollyfort Village Church on 3
October '14 and, despite the torrential rain, supporters came out in force. The
church, which holds about 130 people, was packed with everyone enjoying the
lively music and clapping along. After the concert, refreshments were served in
the old school.
A big thank you to Nevil Cox and his Unity Gospel choir for
a brilliant and entertaining performance. Hope they will come back again next
year.
