The fictional village of Kirrary was constructed at this dramatic location at the foot of Cruach Mhárthain, above Dún Chaoin. For months ahead of shooting, local people were employed alongside professional setbuilders to construct the exterior structures. Fitzgeralds, the local builders’ providers supplied much of the construction material. Overall, it was seen as a good source of employment at the time, and many from the area recount how the film generated a lot of wealth locally, stimulating the local economy, and spurring on the burgeoning hospitality industry. When production was complete, consideration was given to leaving the set in place, to serve as a tourist attraction. Ultimately this was decided against, and all that remains today are the cobblestones that formed the main road through the village.
