- The butter used to be taken from the Geraghtys of Clonkeen. Their cows were going dry and they could get no butter when they'd churn. No matter how long they spent churning, there would come nothing but froth on the milk. This Mary morning Mrs Geraghty (still living) went out to see if she could make out who was taking their butter. She saw a neighbour woman in their fields. She was standing at a river and she had a pole in her hands and the end of it down in the river. Mrs Geraghty found out after that, that this was the woman who used to take their butter.
