- There is a house in the townland of Corragaren where spinning was carried on and part of the wheel is there yet. Near the Two Mile Bridge between Cavan and Ballinagh there is the ruins of a scutching mill which was owned by people named Lowrys. A man named O'Reilly owned a bleach green in Lacken beyond Ballinagh.
