  2. Old Gaps

    Share Share Post
    There is a gap in the parish of Ballyea between two hills called the windy gap or Beamagaoite. Long ago they had no bridges to cross rivers but all stepping stones, or as they called them, fords. There is a ford going across Griffey's river yet. There is a cross below near Lynches and a white woman is supposed to be seen walking up and down there at twelve o'clock every night. At Darragh cross there was a man killed and he is often seen there yet. A man is also supposed to be seen at Bansha.
