    importance in Coxtown called "Tobar na Mban" and a legend attached to it says that a woman dressed in white sits by the side of the well and was seen by some at night.
    One of the roads is called Cuckaloo. It runs between two woods and an unknown spectre was supposed to wawlk through the woods chanting, "Cuckoo, Cuckoo", hence the name Cuckaloo. This road leads from Coxtown to Dunmore which is my native village.
