    Long ago the cross roads dancing was an old custom, but it is given up for the past thirty years in most places. There are many old monument to the dead in this district. One of them being erected at Errill School. This cross was created hundreds of years ago, to the memory of a relative of the Late Lord (Castlefleming) Castletown.
    There is also a stone flag in the "Little Derrier" which is situated about two miles west of Errill. This flag was used as a nearest hiding place for Priests in the Penal times.
