There was a man named Brien Kinsella from Boley, he lived where Rossiters live now.He had a gun and was a good shot. He saw where the shots were coming to the hole so he fired a shot in the hole and another shot never came out of it.When the Rebels were going down Mary St at the battle of Ross. A yeoman used to put his head out in a windows near a door to see when the Rebels would be coming. A man with an axe went down and stood in the door.
