Welcome to Mullinalaghta.

The name Mullinalaghta Mullach na Leachta is derived from two Gaelic words: Mullach - a ridge or hill, and Leachta - a flagstone. The area is peppered with beautiful undulating hummocks and hills, which explains the reference to the ridges or hill. The leacht or stone was often used as a sepulchral monument, hence we find the term used in the designation of local names. The name Mullinalaghta came from and is based on the number of stones or small crags that one may observe in fields adjoining the bog road, which runs through the townland of Larkfield. There are 11 townlands in the parish of Mullinalaghta.
