- About seventy years ago the school for Kilcrohane was in Cahir which was not in the centre of the district. Because of that the journey which the people from the West of Kilcrohane had to go to school was a very long one. The Inspector succeeded in getting another school in Leitir which was a mile from Cahir The new school was to be built on the foundation of a forth called "Leitir Forth." Four masons came from Bantry on Monday and when they left it on Saturday night the school was wall-high. When they returned again the forth was as they first saw it and no building to be seen. On investigation they found that the forth had swallowed the school and they had to begin again on a new foundation
