There was a "casheleen" in Ml. Jas Duffy's land. It belonged to two brothers named Kenzie. They leveled part of it and removed the stones. The next week one of them was killed in Crenane, coming from town. He had a horse and cart; the shaft struck him and he was knocked down. The following year the other brother was killed by a train in England. This happened about 50 years ago. The Kenzies were uncles of Ml. Duffy.
