There was a fair held in Bundoran long ago. This fair was held in a place called Carraig na gCac, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. It was then changed to Chapel Road, but it was never a success. The people objected to the dirt of the cattle because there was no fair green and the fair was stopped.

Out the Knather road in a field behind Pattons' there is a graveyard where in the Penal times people were buried. About five yards from it is a place where Mass was said. In the graveyard there are trees growing. The pattons are now cutting those trees. It is said that they should not do so.
