- (continued from previous page)in the morning the sticks were gone and the woman had disappeared
Ever since, that field is called
Páirc na Sióga
- That part of the river Abha na Criche which flows past Bun an Cumair and Droumcarbin often flows out over the land.
There is a spot in the river called Michil's because a man lived there once called Michil O'Donoghue but he had to leave his little holding in Ros a Chru because of the floods and he went to live in Srón Darac where he died. - It was on a stone at the top of Srón Darach height Eoghan Ruadh was sitting when he made that Song "Seo leó a thoil agus ná goil go fóíl"
He was taking a rest sitting on the stone when a girl appeared bearing a baby in her arms. She placed the baby in his arms and disappeared. The child was his own.
