  1. Old stories:-
    I never heard of any old story except that the Gobain saor was a very clever man in hand mind. He was able to do all kinds of handy work and if a person was handy it would be said that he was as handy as the Gobain saor. No one knew him by any other name only the Gobain saor.

    Local Monuments:-
    I know of no local monument. But I know of a remarkable stone which stands on the top of (..) Hill and no body knows where it came from. It is called cloch na maidine. It is a large stone.
