- Once upon a time there lived a man named Temple. At the back of Temple's house there was a big mount and that was how Mount Temple got its name. In days gone by it was called the fairy mount.
There was a man who lived out there by the name of Maher and a very cruel man he was too. Every night he use to go riding round the fields. After his death he used to be seen by the people.
Other people use to see a lady and she used to go a certain distance down a field and disappeared then.
