- I heard the following account from Mr. E. Driscoll, Dreenlomane, which was told to him by his mother. During the year, called the black '47, people walked to Ballydehob, where the local depot for Indian meal was. One day as Mrs Driscoll was returning from town, she was met by a horse, pulling a cart of dead bodies, which were picked up from the wayside. She compared the bodies with "for driscolls[?]" at sight. They were later cast into a pit at Stuaic graveyard, without distinction.
