    There is a gap in Kiltycreevagh called they "Croppy Gap" it is called that because there are Croppies buried there. There is a well in a field of Thomas Heney and it is called the "crucan-well" because it is down low and tranglar. There is a crossroad in Fairglass and it is called the "Nailers cross-road", because they used to make nails there. There is a field called the monument for in old times they used to be bringing corps from every place around to Tubber Patrick and every place they would rest the would set two trees and they were set.
