(e) Land League House:
Maud of Dundrum evicted one of his tenants for failing to pay rent and all the people around Dundrum brought a load of stones to Ballagh

A priest named Fr Sheehy who lived near this place was hanged. His head was put on a spear outside the barracks in Clonmel. His sister walked up and down the street watching patiently until she got it down off of the spear at night and she took it away in her apron. A man called Maude who lived in Dundrum said it would make a beautiful crow's nest and it was noticed that the crows never built their nests in Dundrum until the nuns took it and made a convent of it. They built in the place ever since.

away through the wood, and gave it burial. By Walsh's wood runs a stream known locally as th Slang, of whose derivation no one I have met knows. The fact, though, that there are several places in the vicinity with the name Elm (Barn Elms (Bárr na Sleamhan) Elm Lawn, Elm Park, etc ) suggest that is has a kindred origin. Close by is the Manor Mill Laundry which at one time was an iron-foundry, which it is said employed at one time during the Napoleonic War close on six hundred workers.Mallet's, as the name was, supplies its products (shaped iron-work of all description) far and near. Portion of the rail-work around Trinity College can still be seen in good condition bearing the name, Mallet, Dundrum, in relief. There is a story current of a Dundrum man soldiering in India who found that the iron-work of his bed-stead came from Mallet's Dundrum.It is said that General Holt of fame in the revolutionary struggle in Wicklow at the end of the eighteenth century narrowly escape capture while sleeping with a friend who lived in the house of the present manager of the Manor Mill Laundry. The story goes that while sleeping, he had a dream in which he thought he was placed under arrest. He awoke, but so impressed was he by the vividness and urgency of the vision, that he dressed

One day, in a conversation with Father John Larkin C.C. Dundrum, he mentioned about getting back to the priest's house in Aughrim Str., Dublin around midnight towards the end of Easter Week, 1916. He had returned from a holiday in Kilkenny his native place and some of the priests were araid that he was involved in the Rising. They spent some time talking about various episodes of the week, when suddenly they heard a military car stop raucously outside the door, and shortly afterwards a loud ratatat sounded. On the door being opened by Father Larkin, a seargant tramped in, saluted and barked out several remarks, the purport of which the priest could not catch freely. However Father Francis Farrington, now Canon of Holy Cross Churchtown Dundrum, came out and said "Yes, I'm chaplain at Arbour Hill. Do you want me?" This was

377ho, laughed the Doctor, "are you Lord Dundrum", and turning, continued on his way home. Bagwell of Greenfields and Haywarden were two of the magistrates who helped to condemn Fr. Sheehy. The latter is - supposed to have said before his death, that as long as there would be a Bagwell in Greenfields, or a Haywarden in Dundrum, no crow would nest in the woods in either place. Mr. Quinlan, a farmer who lives near Greenfields remembers to have seen the young Bagwells rob crows' nests on his lands, with the object of taking the young crows home with them; but what ever the cause may have been, the young birds never lived. It is still a noted fact, that no crows nest in Greenfields' woods, though the Bagwells have left the district for some couple of years now. The same facts apply to the Dundrum estate. It wasn't until the estate passed into the hands of the Mercy Sisters, that the crows again built their nests in the surrounding trees.Lord Haywarden is once supposed to have sent the following message to his agent: "Tell the tenants that no threats to shoot you, will terrify me".

West, gets its name from Wild Ducks. When it was made first, it was for rowing, and there were quite a number of boats on it, but in later years a lot of wild ducks used to come and stay on it for a while, and they have been there ever since, then it got the name of the Duck Pond.
The eleven acres in the Dundrum Wood is a portion of the forest, which contains eleven acres, and on the opposite side of the road there is another wood, known as the Menagerie Wood, owing to the variety of trees and shrubs which grow thereThe Pound beside Dundrum School, is a name given to a small high enclosure, which long ago was used for keeping cattle in, owing to the farmers not paying their rates, and is now owned by Mr. Lysaght.Larry's Hill in the Deerforest at Dundrum, gets its name from a Larry Ryan, from whom the Department of Lands bought that portion of land, and is called Larry's Hill ever since to distinguish it from other parts of the forest.The Black Bridge got its name, for some years ago, there were woods on either side of the road, near the bridge, and therefore it was very dark

About eight miles from Doon there is a place called Dundrum. There is a story attached to the place. There was a band once passing through and one of the drums got broken. One of the men shouted "done-drum" This is how "Dundrum" got its name.Long ago the place was inhabited by monks during the Penal days they were banished then it became the dwelling place of an old Earl - Earl Maud. He owned a very large estate in the district. He was very cruel and was one of those who put Cannon Seehy to death. For doing so he was cursed by a priest who said he would grow a tail which he did later in life. A priest also said that a crow would never build its nest on that estate while a "Maud" lived there. He was punished severely for his wickedness because he died a terrible death. The place was left desolate for a long time but it is now occupied by the Sisters of the Presentaton Order. It is said that the

The most noted landlord in our district were the Bagwells of Greenfields, and the Earl de Montalte who lived in Dundrum. No one remembers having heard when they first settled here, but they had owned the lands in question for several generations. They were not looked upon as especially bad land lords, yet like most of their kind, they were snobbish and arrogant, and looked down upon the ordinary people.The Earl - Lord Haywarden to give him his other title, was especially of this type. He was usually saw walking on the roads surrounding his estate, and always carried a bill-hook, or kind of sickle, with which he cut down noxious weeds and loose brambles as he walked along. He was a mean-looking miserable speciman of a man, anything indeed but one's conception of an Earl; and the following anecdote will move to show what little respect he was held in locally. A carefree farmer, then known as "The Doctor" was on his way home from the fair of Cashel. It had been a good fair, and the Doctor was in good humour. As he came into the vicinity of Dundrum, he met a little man, whom he took to be a beggar-man, and of whom he took no particular notice. He then heard himself addressed in these words "My good man, do you know who I am"? "No, replied the Doctor. "Well", said the other, "I am the Earl de Manteelte," "Oh

Long, long ago a very wicked man named Maud lived in a place called Dundrum, which is about eight and a half miles from Cashel.
This Maud was on the jury that condemned the famous Fr. Sheehy of Clonmel to be hanged. Before the priest was arrested, Maud went up to his house one day & asked him to come out. He did so & Maud killed him.
Before Fr. Sheehy was hanged he said that before Maud would die he'd (have) grow a big tail, and another of his men would die barking. He also said the crows would no longer fly over Dundrum, nor would they build their nests there until after the death of Maud.

Not far from the village of Dundrum Co Tipperary is a quarry called Corlue, where treasure is supposed to be hidden.
The O'Dwyers of Kilnamanagh owned Dundrum before the Mauds, but in the reign of Cromwell they were evicted. They had but little equipment and were afraid they would be over powered by the enemy, so they threw all their gold and silver into a well in Corlue quarry. That is the hidden treasure that many people talk about at the present day. A battle then began between the Cromwellians and the O'Dwyers, in which the former were victorious. They fught from Cashel to Corlue quarry where alot of soldiers were killed.
People afterwards went to look for the gold but they only found human bones. There are alot of fancy and marble like stones in Curlue quarry, and people say that some of the gold and silver is mixed through them.

Deer are very plentiful around here and the big wood near Dundrum, parish Ballintemple, Kilnamanagh Lower, is sometimes called the Deer Forest. There is hardly a time you go into the wood that you would not see a herd of deer roving round. In spite of that they are very hard to get near to shoot them.They resemble the bark of the trees in colour and they are off like the wind at slightest sound.
Once or twice every year there is a deer shoot but they hardly ever get more than three or four. They mostly eat a very coarse grass which grows plentifully in the wood called "deer-grass" and very often they do a great deal of damage by eating turnips and cabbage in the gardens and fields next the woods.
At this time of year the deer are very cross and it is safer not to go too near them but at other times they are perfectly harmless. The deer in the Dundrum wood are not a very big kind: they are the small common variety but occasionally you would see a big buck with branching horns.

There is a place which is never called by its proper name which is Dromartin Avenue. The inhabitants of Dundrum call it Stoney Road because the road had so many stones on it.
There is no one [are few] who knows [know] the reason why Butcher's Lane is so called. It is called that because of all the beech trees which are along that road. The people in Dundrum changed the name by pronouncing it Butcher's Lane instead of Beecher's Lane.
There is a lane which is called Sweet Briar Lane because of all the wild flowers which grow along the banks.

There are two forges in Dundrum. There is one situated at the Dundrum roads. The other is situated at the railway bridge. There are many implements which a smith has to use.Smiths are always very strong. The names of the smiths in Dundrum are Mr Nolan and Mr Hanlon.Instead of calling the place where a smith works a forge, it is sometimes called a smithy.A smith has got to use a bellows, a big pair of pliers, a horn shaped knife, an anvil and a file.The door is shaped like an ordinary door.There are stories connected with forges.If you are looking into a forge and you see the sparks flying about. If the Sparks fly towards you money is coming to you if you see the sparks going away from you the money is going too.Betty Patterson

There was a priest during the penal times called Father O'Shea, a native of Dundrum, Co. Tipperary. There was a price on his head, and he ran away. He hid in one of Jack Dwyer's fields, Cappamore, Co. Limerick and the people supported him. He used to say mass in the chapel in Towerhill, Cappamore, Barony of Owney Beg, Co. Limerick where the graveyard is now. One Sunday morning when he was going down to the chapel to say mass, some soldiers caught him, and cut off his head, and the people following

Long Distance Runner
Mr Tim Crowe Dundrum is the champion in the long distance running he broke all records he used go by the (the) name of Tipperary Tim. There was a great race Horse called after him one time.
The only men of activity in weight throwing was Mr Paddy Ryan of Pallasgreen and Mr Jack O’Grady of the same district. The most famous runner was Mr Crowe of Bishopswood Dundrum who won many prizes for Cross Country Champion-ships. An old man of seventy used to tell a great story how he ran after a hare and gave it a kick and killed it, he was only a workman and lived in Doorish. The people in olden times were better workers than those of to day as they had not other modes of travelling.

There was a man once whose name was Ned Dwyer he was coming home from Dundrum and as he was passsing Carmody’s turn he saw a man walkingvout of Carmody’s grove the man walked across the road and then he went over the ditch and into a field where there was a river he went down to the river and then he disappeared

Story.
About twenty years ago there lived in the Convent of Dundrum an Englishman. this man was called "The Maud". he was a Landlord and was very cruel to all the Catholic people. He made them pay very high rents.
IN the village of Dundrum there was a baker and there was a priest staying with him. The priest used help to pay the rent for him.
On day when the priest was out on a call, the Maud came to the baker and said to him to have the priest clear or it not the baker would have to go. When the priest came back he told him what had happened. The

Cromwell came along to take Dundrum. Philip O'Dwyer led his army against Cromwell and after several hours fighting the O'Dwyers were defeated. People say there is a well in the castle field there and that when the O'Dwyers were beaten Lady Kathleen O'Dwyer took all the gold and silver and jewels they had and threw them in to the well. The well was then filled in and it is said that people have often searched for it in the castle field and could not find it.

A man named Luby of Coolacussane was one night at about 10 P. M. coming out of the Great House in Dundrum. As he was coming along the avenue he overtook a man who was dressed in black and who was walking in the same direction. Luby bade him "Good night" but the man said nothing. The man in black continued walking beside Luby until they came to the entrance gate and there he vanished. The man was supposed to have been Maude's ghost.

Some time after the division of the Maude estate a staff of servants was sent to prepare the Great House in Dundrum for the Presentation Nuns. When they entered the hall all the bells began to ring and the servants ran away in fear and trembling. They ran into the garden lodge which was occupied by a man named Gleeson and under no circumstances would they return to the Great House. The local priest soon after consecrated the house and the bells never rang afterwards
