- During the 1916 rebellion all the young men in this locality met at Glenquin Castle. They were all going to march bak to Kerry to meet a shiip of rifles that were coming into Kerry from Germany. They were going to attack all the barrack on the way home. Before they went they got a telegram that the English had the ship sunk. There was never a battle fought in this district.
