Hollyfort is a village north of County Wexford, within the townland of Mongan (from the Irish an Mongán meaning 'the little swamp') in the valley of the River Bann,three miles north-west of Gorey.
Like its neighbour Monaseed two and a half miles to the west, Hollyfort is currently experiencing the addition of housing, in the form of small housing estates. Unlike Monaseed, the Hollyfort developments are generally within the village area. Hollyfort has a pub, Cooney's, as well as a few abandoned buildings, such as the old bakery and petrol station.
