- One night a man by the name of Pat Sullivan was going home from his cuaird and he said he would go home through the fields. As he was going out of one field into another he saw two boys hurling and he stood on the ditch watching them. He thought to himself that it was a late hour for boys to be hurling and he saw the boys running towards him. He got afraid and he ran back to the house where he had been on his cuaird and from that day to this he never went home through the fields.
Not far from this field there is a fort and boys are often seen hurling there in the night.
