- Cornafulla the village in which our school is situated means the place of blood. The old people tell us that there was a battle fought near the school at one time.
There was a river running through that field and it is said that it ran red with blood. The battle was between the O Flahertys and O Conners which raged for some time until at last the O'Flahertys were compelled to retreat.
