    Folklore.
    The people long ago were very strong and performed great deeds .
    I heard a story about a man who was very strong. He lived in the townland of Crusheen. His name was Tom Kelly.
    He used to carry a plough on his back three or four miles.He used to leave it down and swing it up again on his shoulder as if it was a bag of turf.
