  1. The area now occupied by Statham's Garage and other buildings, was known in 1798 as the Katt's Strand.
    A cave was situated on that piece of land (which jutted-out into the Slaney)
    In this cave lived a number of rebels, with their wives + children.
    A priest who was hiding in a gentleman's house in Carcur said Mass every morning in the cave.
