“In the townsland of Legan there is a field called the Blue Bottoms...”
In the townsland of Legan there is a field called the Blue Bottoms. The reason it was called this name was in the summer it does be covered over with blue flowers. The flowers are like butter cups. There is a holy well in that field and the blue flowers grow around the brink of it. A couple of years ago a man named Francis Connell shot himself accidentally and the track where he fell is there yet. His hands legs and head are shaped out on the ground. The grass never grew where he fell.
