    There are many stories current in the locality of the terrible deeds done by Coote in his day but the river Boyle flows peacefully by the old Ghost tower now, and there is not perhaps a quieter country village in Ireland than the one this tower overlooks to-day.
    There is a place called Killean (Churchhill) near Laphoil School. It contains great ruins of an ancient church that was little known in this neighbourhood until the owner of Killean farm began to build a new house when he dug the field for the foundation of his house he laid open the ruins and they showed the site of the church and the cells for the monks.
