    Páirc na gCupóg
    There is a field in my neighbours farm in Knockanes
    It is called páirc na gCupóg There is a fort in it Once upon a time the owner of this field had a garden in an other field near it.
    The garden was covered with cupógs He picked the cupógs out of the garden and drew them with his car and threw them into the fort.
    The following day when he looked at the fort the cupógs were gone and a big white round stone replaced them. All the cupóg grew around the field It is ever since called páirc na cupóg No matter how he tried to clear them out of it more plentiful they got He never since interfered
