- In old in times people used to rub a black snail to a wart and stick him on a thorn of a black thorn bush and if the snail is gone in the morning the wart is gone and if he is not gone the wart is not gone.
- It is said that gold cups and jugs were buried in it. Some years ago people were going to dig in it and a voice said to them "do not put a spade in this soil or bad luck will fall on you. The men stopped digging.
- Long be-fore my father bought the land on the Longford Rd, there used to be an old Mill in the nine acre field and it is was called the Mill at Tinnerare and it was the principal Mill in this Parish.
