- A short distance from the village of Beaufort in the parish of Taugh lies Leaba na Bó Cross. in that district there was an enchanted cow who used to give milk to the poor people of the district in the time of the Famine. If those people went to milk that cow every hour in the day, she would give plenty of milk. One clever man said that he would milk the cow dry, so he got a sieve, and he milked her through it, and from that day onwards, the cow was never seen or heard of.
