    There is a cross in the townland of Farrahy. One cutting is a main road and leads to Mitchesltown having come from Mallow. The other is a bye-road and leads to Meadstown. From Farrahy cross there is an Avenue which leads to Bowenscourt, in olden times there was no Avenue going up to Bowenscourt.
