    There was once a Church on the right hand side of the road as you are going down, in Michael Loftus' field.
    All the old people around this district went to Mass there.
    When they were they were knocking it a white rat ran out and they heard a voice and it told them not to knock any more of it and from that day to this it was never disturbed.
