It was part of the Butler's property at one time and was part of a Deer Park. When one of the Butlers died in Monroe near Ardfinnan he was waking for six days. One of the Walsh's who was the tallest man in Ballybacon dressed up in a Swallow Tail Coat, tall hat and staff in his hand and did duty in the wake house for six days.
