    because fifty weaver's came out from Carrick to try and knock it down but they failed.
    There is also an old church-yard in Croughnagarraha called Tempall Fenuagh which means Saint Fenagh's Church. The old people say that if you were on the road at mid-night you would hear a bell tinkling as if mass were going on. In the church-yard there is a ruin of an old church. It is said that a man was passing the churchyard one night and he saw an old woman who had been buried there long before sitting in the ditch smoking a pipe.
