  2. Poll na Nithe

    Share Share Post
    At the end of my townland there is a pond called Pollnanithe which means a hole of things. One holiday of obligation a certain man went out ploughing in the field where the pond is now.
    When he had near finished the ground opened and swallowed himself horses and plough then the hole filled up with water. His father also went out in the evening to see how he was getting on and he was also drowned.
