Atticall

Attical or Atticall (from Irish Áit Tí Chathail, meaning 'place of Cathal's house')[1][2] is a small village and townland (of 396 acres)[3] in the Mourne Mountains of County Down, Northern Ireland.

The village has a Catholic maintained primary school, called Holy Cross, for 4–11 year olds.

[5] The village is also home to the Holy Cross Accordion Band, which has won All Ireland Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann competitions on six occasions: 2010, 2011, 2014, 2016, 2017 and 2018.

[citation needed] At the end of the ice age a deposit of stones is thought to have been left that runs through Atticall.

The great spotted woodpecker, Ireland's newest breeding bird species, has been seen in Cnocnafeola Wood.
