Features
Altahullion Hill lies west of the hamlet, and there are extensive views to the east over the River Roe to Benbradagh. Gortnahey has grown as two clusters of housing, with an area of mainly public housing at Gortnahey Road and private housing at Beech Road. There is a primary school and Roman Catholic church, but there are no commercial services. [clarification needed] There are proposals to provide a community hall and two retail units on the site of the existing McCartney Memorial Hall.[2]
