    We have a bog below the railway. The Big River flows through portion of our bog on its cource to the Shannon. At Lecarrow, a short distance below the bog a dam has been erected over the river. It is known as the mill-dam for the waters are used to turn the mill wheel in Lecarrow.
    Poll an Sidhe:- There is a spring well in our bog, wide and round in shape where the clearest of spring water is to be found in abundance at any time of the year. This well is known as Poll an Sidhe for it is locally supposed that in olden times a fairy resided near this well and worked magic spells from its waters.
