It is situated on the road from Stradbally to Ballinakill. In the Roman Catholic arrangement the parish is united to that of Stradbally. There are a public school and a police station. This village derives its name from St. Mochoe, who founded a monastery here called Teach-Mochoe, of which there are traces. In 1642 General Preston was defeated here by Monk. Here are the ruins of Crosby Castle. Fairs are held on 5th April, 3rd July, and 18th October."
