- The ruins of a small village on Mr. Barker's land, Coolboy are called 'Sydney'. The door-steps are to be seen yet and half the walls.On Conahill there is an old ruin of a house which in former years was known as a lighthouse. It had eight square windows and a door.
- A man by the name of Pat Tompkin took care of this lighthouse and went to live in it. People go there in summer to see the ruins and there is quite a nice view of the country to be seen from it.
