- On the flat of a hill overlooking the village of Kilmeedy, is a small lake or lough called Loc an Ríog or the kings lake. It is in the townland of Knockaderry in the parish of Clouncagh near Kilmeedy and goes dry during the summer months. Long, long ago it is said there was a palace or mansion some-where at the foot of the hill and there is gold buried there.
