    Long ago there was a hedge school in the townland of Currabweer. The remains of this old school can be seen yet. The pupils envited the master in their turn to stay with them by night. A master by the name of Richard Lyons that was teaching in this school. There were no National schools in those times. This old school was built in a field in the Robert Levis land. The teachers were not allowed to teach in those days. The most of these teachers were strangers. School was carried on in the farmers' houses also. The people that paid these teachers for the instruction they gave. Mostly every subject was through Irish. Writing was done in these times also and it was in Irish it was done.

The teachers remained in every school for about a year.
