A Hive of Activity
The ‘Old School’ is a much-used building in the Crosserlough area. It was built as a national school under the direction of Fr John Boylan in the mid-1880s and opened on 1st October 1886. It is situated in the townland of Cullow, on the Crosserlough to Kilnacrott Road, overlooking Cullow Lake. It continued in use as a school until the current school was opened in 1981.

Between 1999 and 2001, the ‘old school’ was renovated. While the ‘old school’ is no longer used as a place of formal education in the locality, it is still a centre of activity in the vicinity of Crosserlough.
