- Situated on top of Cannonbrook Hill is a Rath where some of the Danes were banished. (The hill is so called because a priest named Canon Brooke lived there). Some of the old inhabitants say that the Danes built the Rath. There is still to be seen the remains of the iron cups and plates which they used. Some of these Danes escaped by the aid of a Wishing Chair which it is said can be seen to this day. It is also said there is treasure hidden which only a person with Fitz in front of his name will find. It is said come of it was found by Mr.R.Fitzgerald.
