  2. Conor's Lane

    Share Share Post
    This is how Conor's Lane got its name. At one time, a family named Conor lived in a house beside the lane. Hugh Conor was about seven and a half feet in height. He had a brother who was almost as tall. The people used call them giants. The Conors were very dishonest men. They used steal cattle and kill them for food. They used hide the meat in turf stacks in a bog which was near at hand. Their neighbours were in terror of them and had to go by the fields if they were going him late at night. The Conors were so strong that they used eat all their food raw.
