  1. (continued from previous page)
    On the hill of Knockaulin there is a hole and they say it is Brian Boru's Kitchen because Brian Boru made it.
    There is an old castle in Black hall and music is heard there. Mr. Dwyer told me that.

  2. Long ago they used to play Jack Stones. As many as liked can play them with a partner if you wished. It was interesting to play to try who would get the game first.
    Other games were "Spy", "Cuck" "Sugar-stick and Oranges" and "Here comes Tod" with his long rod.
    "Fox" is played with a lot of boys
