Granny (townland)

Granny (from Irish Greanaigh 'gravelly place'[2]) is a townland lying within the civil parish of Kilcronaghan, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland.

It lies in the west of the parish on the boundary of the civil parish of Ballynascreen, and is bounded by the townlands of; Calmore, Duntribryan, Moneyshanere, Mormeal, and Tamnyaskey.

It wasn't apportioned to any of the London livery companies, being kept as church lands.

[3] The townland was part of Tobermore electoral ward of the former Magherafelt District Council, however in 1926 it was part of Tobermore district electoral division as part of the Maghera division of Magherafelt Rural District.

Prior to the Plantation of Ulster, these four townlands constituted the termon (or erenagh) land of the parish, and were known as "Ballintrolla, Derreskerdan, Dirrygrinagh et Kellynahawla".
