- (continued from previous page)Unless their ranks are filled
With the best of Irishmen.We marched through 'Comer,
And we fought the Soldiers,
But we lost our lives in the Colliery.
They stole our guns
And they damped our powder,
And we were slain in Kilcomney.
- There is an old road in Ardra. It is called the "Terrace". It is said that it was an old coach road.
