    There is a field in a farm in the townland of Crenagh, in the parish of Killeshandra which is called "Billy's field. A family used to live in a house at the bottom of the field. The people who lived in it were Billy and Frankie McGovern. It is about eighty three or eighty four years since they lived in it. The ruins of the house are there yet.
