    Páirc Beallach
    At the time when Irish priests were hunted in Ireland the Irish around Kilkmacow made a tunnel in a certain field where the priests often hid from the English. The field is supposed to have been situated about four miles directly northwards.
    After that it was called Páirc Beallach.
