- There is a liss in Cullina on Con Ryan's (Jim) land. Cullina is a townland in the parish of Cappamore. This liss is round in shape and some trees grow in it. One night, John Brien, of the same townsland was coming from a wedding in a neighbour's house. He had to pass the liss. It was one o'clock in the night, there was a dead silence. As he was passing it, he heard a noise like a man hitting nails with a hammer. He stood and listened, he could hear him whistling and singing. After a while he went home and never went near that liss.
