- Cromwell.When Cromwell was in this district he is supposed to have camped in a field near Cronemore Hse. It is called Cromwell's field.
The field has fifteeen acres in it and it has a well in the middle which has never been known to go dry. Near the well there are four stones which mark where Cromwell's tent stood.
Almost a mile away from this there is a big stone where Cromwell killed a farmer because he refused to give him some of his catle for food.
