== About the village ==
The village sits on the shore of a beautiful bay, The Bay of Bears, perhaps, and is bordered to its west by woodland, to its east and north by the bay, and to the south by the main highway to [[Newtown]]. Three sides of the village, western, southern and eastern, are protected by [[Tall_stone_wall|tall stone walls]]; the Northern side of the village is open to the bay.
The village has been built on the faint remnants of previous occupation, but to accommodate the new larger settlement land has been reclaimed from the lake and a small hillock has been brought down to lake level with one tier. This reclamation has included the construction of a small harbour and a fishing pier that reaches out beyond the village boundary into deeper water.
