- There is a hill called Cnoc na Teine at a sharp turn of the road in Drewstown. It is supposed that, that spot of the road is frequented by Leipreachans. A man in Drewstown says that one night he and his companions were coming home late. He saw in the field a crowd of Leipreachans with a table cloth spread out on the grass and they were having a meal. The man who saw the Leipreachans told his companions. So they went back. The man who saw them at first did not see them the second time and the other man did.
This man's name is Mr. Thomas Mc. Cormack
