- There was supposed to be an old witch woman living in Bengarra long ago. I don't remember her name but she is buried in Templemoyle graveyard and there her remains still repose, there is a kind of headstone over her grave and its called "Chailleach Féarach" it can be seen in Templemoyle graveyard to this day. There is a story told that the seven churches of Glendalough were going to be built in Templemoyle by the angels. When they were going to start work the old witch looked out her door and as soon as they saw her looking out they flew away and built their churches in Glendalough. Its about 100 years ago that this witch lived in Bengarra.
