    An Clock Mór is a large sized stone and it is situated to the west of our house. In Penal Days Oisín was carrying large stones and dropped one in our field.
    Mr James Madden,
    Polshash
    Williamstown
    Co Galway.
    owns a small garden in which there is a deep hole and it is called the Claish, and it is said there is an underground passage leading from there to Polanoister. My grand father went down on a ladder and brought up a spoon of dry earth and there is a deep hole still remaining.
    James Madden saw there a lepreachan but he did not recognize him.
    Poll Rannin is a bush in the centre of a field to the south of Kean's it is so called because wrens are caught in it.
