Kilnaleck (Template:Langx, meaning 'church of the flagstone')[1] is a village in County Cavan, Ireland on the R154 regional road. Kilnaleck was once the centre of a mining boom when, in 1879, some local businessmen and a school headmaster decided to develop the coal that existed nearby. However, the coal was very deep and hard to extract and the mine was forced to close.[2] The village is within the civil parish of Crosserlough.
Transport
