- On the road between Mallow and Fermoy there stands an old graveyard - Carrig graveyard. About thirty years ago a woman named Mrs Best of Carrig Hse. was buried there. On the day of the the burial it was said that two gold dogs, gold earrings and rings were buried with her. That night soldiers came and opened the grave. It is not known whether they got the gold or not but the morning after the grave was seen open. It was afterwards closed by Mr Rea, Killavullen.
