- There are two lakes in our district. One of them is known as leaca lake. Long ago in frosty weather Leaca lake used to be covered with ice. Men used to walk on the ice bringing baskets of turf from the other side of the lake. On one of these occasions a man named Thady Rahilly was crossing the lake, when all of a sudden the ice crashed beneath him and he was drowned. His body was afterwards recovered by some men.
A man named Leahy was drowned in the same lake. On his way home from the bog one evening. He went in for a swim.
