Near this, also on Wickham's land, is an old rath & during the Black & Tan troubles the boys on the run often met inside these old walls. Two dykes or trenches - or portions of them - can still be seen & also a bridge. I heard old people say that music is often heard in the rath at night.Sarah Kennedy (13) heard from father Tim Kennedy (59) Knockmarshal & Mrs Wickham (76) Knockmarshal.
- This old field, owned by Mr. Tony Furlong [Temple]Scoby is said to be haunted. It is said that there was a graveyard in one corner of it. At Bishop's house at the bounds ditch there is a fair sized rock & people say that this rock hides the entrance to the tunnel which connects the graveyard at Moneyhore with this old graveyard. People say that a large part of the tunnel goes along under the road and some say that a strange hollow sound is heard when cars pass along from the top of Doran's Hill (at the graveyard) to the avenue gate.
