  1. Historical Tradition

    Share Share Post
    During the time of '98 rebelion, there was a man named O'Toole who was going with a message to the rebels, there were British soldiers in Laragh Castle and the soldiers on guard there shot him as he walked along the Kilifine road. He was burried by the women of the locality in Walshes bog and the place is known as the Croppy man's grave.
    He is supposed to be an O'Toole from Aughowell.
