    There is a cave in "poll bradac near Árd Aoibhinn where some thing is hidden.There is an opening into it and the minute you go in with a lighted candle or any light it will quench when you want it badly. There is terrible foul air in it which quenches it but it is believed that some treasure is hidden there.
    There is a mass rock in Cappabane on the side of a hill where mass was celebrated in the penal days. It is a big rock with trees all around it and there is an iron cross on the top of it where the priests hid and offered up the mass.
