- (continued from previous page)There is a large height between Coolacoosane and Bawnmore called the Curragh. All the place is very barren and rough with furze and heather. In one particular place a bunch of nettles grows, about six feet long. It is said that it is a soldier's grave, as an English soldier was killed there during the time of the Whiteboys, and was buried there. Some people would not pass there in the night.
- There is a hill between Bawnmore and Kilpatrick and the Curragh is the name of it. There is a field on the top of the hill with a heap of stones in the middle of it. It is said that gold was found in that heap, and everybody who is passing through that field at night will go astray.
