- During the time of the famine there was a very kind protestant lady in the townland now called Mossgrove. The people were starving and every time she went out she brought a share of meal if it only was a stone of meal. This day however she could not get any grain atall so she brought a bag of moss rather that disappoint them by bringing an empty bag. This is said to be the way the name Mossgrove originated.
