   Many stories are told about my Locality as there are many places of interest in it. There is one place called the Cavan' and on this hill St Patrick was supposed to preach to the people of the neighbourhood. And on the place where he stood there is a large hight and it is all covered with briars and whins. This field is supposed to be the longest in the townland. There are three and a half acres in the field. St Patrick said Mass on this spot and the place where he said Mass there is a lot of Shamrocks found.
