Kilnafrehan alley -in parish of Kilgobnet, was built in 1880s on commonly owned land at a crossroads between Kilnafrehan East & Kilnafrehan West. It originally had a clay floor with a flag stone placed in ground to mark the toss. This also served as the serving line. It was renovated in 1958. Prior to that it had been added to (including balcony) and plastered with lime-based plater in the 1930s/40s. When nearby Kilgobnet Alley was roofed in 1970s, Kilnafrehan became obsolete. Dances were held in this alley.
