The subjects taught in this school were Arithmetic Reading, Geography and Writing. Irish was not taught. The school was carried on from nightfall to midnight and the only light available was a wick light.
Some of the ruins of this old school are still to be seen and are well known to the people of the neighbourhood. The field in which the school was built is known as The "Scolg Field," and is in the possession of the O'Sullivan family since 1822 down to the present day.
