   Share Share Post

   There is a field in my townland called The Mount Field. There was once a mount in it which was levelled. When the people we levelling it they found a piece of a stone coffin under it. One time the ditch was being rebuilt and a few bones were found in it. In another field there is a cave which comes from the Old Monastery in Louth and goes on to Knockabbey. It is said that the monks used this cave as a road in times of danger. In this cave there is a well. In another field there is a bog hole with no bottom in it. It is said that two soldiers were escaping from their enemies with crock of gold and they threw it in this hole.
