  1. About one mile from the village of Ardfield is a cross leading to three different roads called Crois na Leanbh. It is Mr. Tim Cowhig's Boreen.
    It is so called because in the older times unbaptised children were buried there. This cross is now covered with grass and high furze and is never tampered with.
