- There is a fort in Ardfert [?] called Casement's Fort because it was there that poor Roger Casement stayed after landing off the German submarine in Easter Week 1916.
Near this fort a Michael Collins from near by was digging a large hole to bury a dead pony in 1937. He found a pipe, he then dug deeper and he found a little room full of paving stones and in the room were little stone chairs and stone tables.
He reported it to the Archaeological Society in Dublin.

- About one hundred and fifty years ago an old John Trant and his two brothers Tom and Maurice, my Grandmother's three uncles, were digging potatoes in a field owned by an OBrien of Lionearla called the "Kiln Field". They discovered a pot. They went in to their dinner and they did not let any one know about it. When they came back to examine the pot it had disappeared.
