- There was a Landlord here at one time named Andrew Wood's Rider. The tenants liked him. He evicted no person but one - a man named Michael Geaney who lived in Ben Bán. He put an emergency man in his place. After this the neighbours gathered and they burned the emergency man out of the place. It was there then for a couple of years, and a man by the name of Coleman grabbed it. All the neighbours threw out Coleman and reinstated Geaney. A song was composed about it.

If you'll listen to me attentively I'll tell without fawn.
How the Colemans grabbed the farm in the townland of Benvaun
