Moneyglass is a small village and a townland in the north-west of County Antrim, near Toome and to the east of Lough Beg, which swallows the course of the River Bann for a while just north of its outflow form the northern end of Lough Neagh.
The name is derived for the Irish language: Muine Glas, meaning "Green thicket (or hill)’. It is recorded as Ballymoyneglass in 1605.[1]
The village had a population of 103 people (in 38 households) recorded at the 2011 Census.
