The land here was of excellent quality, so much so that the families were evicted and pushed south-east and re-located beside the "new road" that links Listowel and Lixnaw today.

About the time of the Fenian Rising, Lord Listowel decided that he wanted this land and his agent Major Homes planned to shift the whole village and evict the locals further south-east to the northwest of the townland of Irremore.

The house plots were marked out and the eviction about to take place, when the Agent Holmes died unexpectedly and the village was saved.

Ringforts were features of the parish, with examples on the farms of Quinlans and McElligotts of Coolnaleen, Galvin's and Whelan's of Finuge.

The townlands in the civil parish of Finuge including Bealkilla, Kilcrean, Knockamoohane, Ballinruddery, Garryantanavalla, Ballygrennan, Moyassa, Knockanassig and Grogeen.
