Where the Sheep river flows past Barrett's Wood a woman used to be heard beetling clothes very often. She was called the "Beetling Woman". There was a round stone on the bank of the river opposite the corner of the wood and a sheet used to be seen wrapped round the stone, also a candle lighted there in the night. One night a man crossed over the stone round which the sheet was wrapped. He went astray going home that night and could not get home until morning.
