    The Wild Cat's Nest - Long ago in a hollow in Kill Road there was a nest of wild cats. These cats were very fierce, having terrible claws, including one on their tale. One night they attacked a man on horseback at this spot and almost put the horse mad. Since then this hollow is known as the Wild Cat's Nest.
