Like its neighbour Monaseed 4 km to the west, Hollyfort is currently^[when?] experiencing the addition of housing, in the form of small housing estates.^{[citation needed]} 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.^{[citation needed]}
