- There was a "scoil scairte" (hedge school) in this district long ago at a place called Fionán Field. This school was held in an outhouse. The scholars who attended this school wrote on slates. These children sat on benches of stones which were covered by sods. In those days teachers continually travelled from place to place. The names of a few of the books which were used in this school were "Reading made easy". The arithmetic used was called "Tret and Tear". A spelling-book called "The Voster" was also used.
Two teachers by the names of John Shine and Jeremiah O' Sullivan used to teach in hedge-schools.
