- In olden times the people of this locality were heard to say that there was a corn-mill on Inch Island, Lough Gowna. From harvest time till spring the mill was heard grinding at night, though the miller was never seen. He was called “puca na hinnse.”

This was done so often that they at length decided to make a present to the “puca". They decided to buy him a new suit of clothes. This they did in return for his grinding the corn free of charge.
