- Neddie KelliherThere was a man by the name of Neddie Kelliher who lived out near Knocknagoshel. He had an only daughter and he made match for her with one of the Stacks of the Black Wood. In the Spring time when he was cutting the turf, he found a piece of a bogdeal stick. In the later end of the year when he had every thing done he made an attempt to rise it.
