    College, there are fourteen trees growing in the shape of an arc of a circle. It is called The Fourteen Trees and it is supposed to be haunted by a man wearing a red coat. He was seen in recent years by many people.
    Peck's Lane is the name given to the narrow road which is half-way between Castleknock park gate and Castleknock and linking that road with the Navan road. In olden times there was only one house at the top and a man named Pecks lived in it.
