- There is a silver mine in the townland of Tunnyinn, Cootehill. It was worked by a Welsh Company and was very valuable. It was abandoned because the natives were stealing the ore.
There was a lead mine opened there also, and it, too, was rich.
The farm in which these minerals are, is now owned by Mr. Litcho
Men named Carnew, Lisco, and Barnett came over from Wales to work in these mines. They settled in the district, and their descendants are in the locality still.
Long ago the people used to say where the rainbow touches the earth there stands a pot of gold.
