- During the years of the Famine many people in Dreenlomane died of hunger. It is said that the people ate raw swede turnips and when they got a substantial meal they died of a choking disease. Mr. T. Burke, Dreenlomane told me the following tales, which he heard from his father.
A woman, who had not eaten a meal of bread for four days, died of hunger in the vicinity of the barytes mines, Dreenlomane. She was dead a week, and still no attempt was made to bury her. At last a neighbour stole whiskey from a publican in Ballydehob, and shared it with three other neighbours and undertook to bury the body. Having procured a coffin, they shouldered the remains to Dunbeacon grave-yard.
It is said that a victim of the famine is buried in a ditch near the mines, and another at the side of the road near-by, the grave is marked with two stones.
