  1. Annagh -Barna = Boggy gap

    It got its name from a hollow in the mountains through which runs the "Cadgers Pass" connecting Ravensdale with O'Meath . It was use by travelling fishermen and other in old times but is now with the youth a favourite walk in summer time.
    Jas Mc Dermott (deceased ) tells of a certain teacher in the early 50s going across to Warrenpoint for payment due to her uncle as a scripture reader to the poor. The family were detested by the Catholic people and this lady was set upon by the women who beat her and tore her fine garments until she promised to give up her connection with the old proselytising gang who had head quarters at Warrenpoint.
    As we enter the townland we come to a path in Mc Namee's field which contains no cave but a large stone is pointed out as the spot where Blessed Oliver Plunkett said mass. Here he was guarded by the faithful of his flock and is said to have dined in Mc Ateers very often after mass.
    Just beside this field is the wall of Annaverna demesne where resided in 1798 the chief man in command of the Yeos of this district.
