The house at this link is possibly named as it is located in the old townland, may be worth contacting the site to ask for definite location here is the link

Wolf Island can be seen on this map. The area circled in red is on or near Fallahogy Road.

You do seem to have right general area, but this map, which often shows old townland name, doesn't seem to have Fallahogy (albeit it was a townland).

Thankyou for your reply, yes still not sure where townland would have been, I  only saw to entries in google one being for Wolf Island and  Fallahogy Bog, yes found how many acres the townland was on IreAtlas, but really trying to pinpoint may Fallahogy Road is the area.

Hope it goes well, especially as they are local architects and may just have some old maps around.
