    The Soldier's Pond.
    (Situated near Love Lane, Clybee, Charleville Co Cork)
    In Clybee near Love Lane there is a pond called the "Soldier's Pond". Long ago when British soldiers were billeted in Fort St, George The Turrets, Charleville. One evening a soldier and his sweetheart went for a walk.
    They had a quarrel and during the quarrel they were passing the bank of this pond. She in a fit of anger got behind him and shoved him into the pond. He was drowned. Ever since it is called the "Soldiers Pond"
