  1. Pipers Pit

    Share Share Post
    There is a place called Pipers Pit in Coolnacarte it is said that Pipers have often been heard playing music there at night. Many cold winter nights when the moon would be up people would come to hear the Pipers play. It is said that if anyone cut branches off the trees around they would leave no luck and nothing would grow in it. The pipers' pit is one of Mr John Mulhalls fields.
