   In the famine times there was an old house in Knockabrin and it was used as a barrack. The police stayed in it. Indian meal was boiled and made into porridge in a boiler and shared among the policemen and the neighbours living there. A blight which came on the potato crop was the cause of the famine. The people died in multitudes at Knockbrack crossroads. The corpses were so numerous that they could not be buried. The people decayed in the pits and the people had no seed for the following year so the government had to give out potatoes for seed.
