  1. The Cooper's Garden
    The Cooper's Garden is on top of Curraghtown Hill. Harry Ennis known as "Harry the Cooper" lived there and made oak churns. He died about fifty three years ago, and left two sons who went to America.
    He made wooden spoons as well as churns and made them from the oak trees which grew in his garden. There are seven of the oak (trees) stumps still in the garden.
