Ballinlough is a townland...um...townlands are...let's see...
the closest thing I can think of to compare them with would be a zip code, maybe.Sometimes they ARE genuine towns.And sometimes they're a locally defined area.And...erm...sometimes there are locally defined areas which are NOT townlands, but if you go there, everyone knows the place you're speaking of.
You're very welcome.
