A sort of fence or ditch called an Claidhe Dubh runs from Bowen's Court, Kildorrery along the foot of the mountains of Ballyhoura and Streamhill to Ballyvonarc. Probably some ancient boundary. Very Rev. Professor Power was around the locality some years ago inquiring about it.
There is a tradition that a battle was fought at Pynegrove, or Crobeg. About 100 years or more ago a stone coffin was found at Cro-beg gate containing the remains of a man of large size with a sword beside him. Brass spurs, and the bones and horns of an elk were found in a bog here in former times.(continues on next page)- Collector
