- The Famine Period: In the townsland of Lavace on the lands of the Tyand and Lynach families in the parish of the Neale, and close to the public road on the left hand side as one is going to Ballinrobe, there stood until recently the remains of an old building known as the sick house. This appears to have been a kind of hospital in the famine perood. The last traces of it were removed some years ago.
