- In the townland of Ballaghanea beside Tommy Mullen's Mill there is a great heap of rocks in the river and there is a hole between the rocks that is called "Poll an Tormán". It is called this name because the water falls a height and it makes a noise and that's the reason why it is called Poll an Tormán.
