  1. An old lane going down by Meaney's house in Ballyleigh to the mill road in Ballywilliam is called Achavudda. Another old lane runs by Dwyers. An old lane begins in the Irishtown New Ross comes on through Ballyanne by Jack Fogarty's in Ballinabanogue through the wood in Ballyleigh to Poulmounty and back of the factory and on through Drummond. There is a Mass path going through Hickey's field to Drummond. No one goes through it now as two cottages have been built there.

    Many people who hunt the wren go to the houses on St Stephen's day & say rhymes. They get money.
    "The wren, the wren the king of all birds,
    St. Stephen's day she was caught in the furze,
    Little or not her family was great,
    I pray you good lady to give us a treat
    Up with the kettle & down with the pan,
    Give us some money to bury the wren.
