- In our neighbouring townland known as Mountaafe there once lived a landlord called Taafe. He was a very peculiar man. One year he went to England before he had saved the turf. His wife gathered a "meitheal" to stack the turf. When Taafe came home he scattered out the turf and took it back to the bog. The next day he made all the men stack it again.
