- There was a lane which was leading to Killeagh Church. There was another road but this was a shortcut for the people. When the land was divided they closed the lane and built a house there. Every night a Bean Sidhe sits under a tree which was on the lane and cries until the break of day
The people around say that it was the land which the "Bean Sidhe" used travel.- Collector
