- John Feeney that lived in Kilmaryl long ago was a very strong man. He was able to carry two casks of butter to Boyle which was ten miles from his home. Each cask contained one hundred weight of butter. Michael Moran was strong also and was able to endure many hardships. He lived in Ballyroddy. He was building a house for himself. He had to quarry the stones in a pit a long distance from his home. He then carried them in a bag on his back to where he was going to build the house. He had to continue this work from day to day until he had sufficiant stones to build the house.
