The house there is still standing at this writing (January 1999). It is located all the way at the top of the Bunacrick road behind a new house which has been built there.
There is a pool in the Clonmany river called "Jay's hole". This is the location where Jay Bradley did most of his fishing and otter trapping (i.e. poaching). The location is well know to the town locals to this day.
