There is a rath in Mr. Plummer's field and the man that owned it before him cleaned all the bushes and briars out of it and when he went to bed the night he had ploughed it he got sick and he never got out of his bed till he died. It is noticed that whirlwinds go from the rath to the church in our field. In Mr. Hall's field beside the field that the old church is in, there is an old well known as St. Bridget's well : there was a stone trough at this well about about one hundred years ago and it was removed to Clologue burial ground near Ferns.
