  1. There was a hedge school in a barn near Collop's Well near the Blessed Well of Tubber-Da-Annraoi and the scholars never wrote with a pencil but on some kind of slates with a long-shaped stone pencil a black-board was never used but a larger slate. They mostly learned rural science. They sat on stools and were poorly clad. The teacher's name is not known. Some English was taught there. The teacher was caught by the English soldiers as he teaching his pupils and arrested and they brought him away he was never heard of again. His little school was thrown down and his pupils were scattered.
