    seen in Carragaholt after the battle of Fontenoy.
    St Senan's bed is to be seen in the centre of Freigh graveyard.
    It is a high mound of earth covered with long grass and no one has been buried there and the St. is said to have slept there.
    The corn in that district is said to be the first to ripen and the St. bestowed this privilege on the people because of their kindness.

    In Freigh there is the remains of an old castle and its walls existed up to a few years ago.
    It is said there is an underground tunnel leading into it for about three hundred yards.
    The old people say it is paved with stones and was used as a secret entrance to the old fortress.
