    Botharín na gCloch is part of a stream about half a mile long running from the Graigue road to the Ahacross road. It was much used by farmers in the Graigue School area when the mill at Gleann an Ludaigh was working. Funerals from the same area to Molagga came that way, and the people walked through the water. It is about thirty years since the last funeral went that way. The bed of Botharín na gCloc is strewn with stones.
    In the time of the famine a man was taken down this passage in a sheet and when the man was buried his wife plucked some nettles into the sheet and brought them home to the children.
