- There is an old house in Rusheenbeg in a field named Rayteach. A man lived there long ago by the name of Finghín na bPúcaí or Florrie of the Fairies. He had a little garden out side the house. He used to go out digging potatoes every morning. One morning he disappeared and was never seen again. His house was afterwards known as the goats house because goats were housed in it. Finghín na bPúcaí was supposed to have been taken away by the fairies.
