    Michael Manahan who lived in Kilcullane was one of the best mowers in Co Limerick in the year 1907 he died. He set off for Ballycullane to where he had some meadowing. The consisted of about an acre and a half. However he did not think this much and therefore finished it in one day with a scythe. He was pen-named the "Kilcullane Giant". Another great mower was Patrick Bourke who lived in Lough Guir but is now living in Rathjordan.
