    There is an old road in Aran. It is known as Bóthar Cillín. Long ago a Saint named Áran built a church beside this boreen. It is from this church my native village gets its name, Killenaran.
    The Banshee's Path: There is a path leading through fields. The Ban-shee used to travell through these field during Summer evenings. She used to caoin or cry.
