- "The Fiddler's Corner" is in the townland of Coill na Muice and in the Parish of Inniscarra. It is so called because every Sunday a Fiddler used to come out from Cork and play a fiddle there, sitting on a big stone, and all the boys and girls used to dance. When they stopped dancing, they would give the fiddler some money for playing.
