   In the townland of Callas, Inniscarra is a field, about an acre in extent, known locally as The Pound Field. It appears one corner (a very deep corner) was used as a Cattle Pound many years ago, when cattle were seized for nonpayment of rents or rates. At one side of this little field was a laneway which was continued south of the present priests' house at Callas, Berrings. This laneway of which no trace can now be seen connected the Callas-Berrings Road with some marshes near the present priests' house, and one old inhabitant, Eugene Lane of Berrings Inniscarra played 'bowls' in this laneway, when a little boy.
