- Páirc Crimé.
Once there was a field which was surrounded by seven or eight thatched houses. In every house three or four children lived with their parents.
One day a house was left in charge of a young girl. As they were playing the house caught fire and it set fire to all the other houses. After a while they were all burned to the ground. It was found out after that some of the children were burned to death.
After that it was called Páirc na Crimé.
