- There is a field in Coolacoosane bounding Moanflugh and Lackaduv. There is a height at one end of it, and in the middle of that knob there are two big stones called the gullanes. If a person happen to walk this field at night he would be put astray there and could not get out until the morning. If the person walking there struck a match he would find himself between the two stones.
- In the townland where I live (Scrahanard) there are three forts within 200 yards of one another. There is a passage underground from one to the other. There is a field not far from the forts called Páirc na Béillic. In the field there is a cromlech, four flags standing, two about six feet long on each side, and two about four feet long at each end. There is a huge flat stone resting on top of these. There are some letters cut on the stone, but people cannot make out what they are. All the old people said there is money hidden somewhere in this townland.
