  1. There is a very old graveyard and holy well in Clonabranley.
    This is a story told about Clonabraney graveyard:
    On night as a man was walking up a hill at the graveyard he stood to light his pipe and then a little cat came along and began to purr around his legs and at last the man hit the cat with his cap and the cat let a shout and in a few minutes about a hundred cats was around him biting his legs and they followed him up to the Moate of Diamor.
