- One of our fields is known as the High Field. It is called that name because it is higher than any other field.
Another field is known as the Stoney-Bog. It is said that the field was once very boggy and full of stones.
There is a bridge not far from Berrings Cross called Foxe's Bridge. It is said that the Muskerry hounds were hunting a fox near the bridge, and he went behind a stone but when he was coming out, his tail got caught, and he died there, and for that reason the bridge is called Foxe's Bridge.
