   Father Brown once lived here a P.P. in Ballylanders. He lived in a house near the village and near the house was a vein of sand. Some people went to draw the sand and Father Browne told them to stop as they were undermining the house. They refused and Father Browne turned in-saying nothing, but the sand turned into the water and puddle. There was never sand drawn there after. The hole is still in the field and four trees standing near - nobody would cut them down. It was for building the Protestant Church the sand was being drawn - Harty was killed when finishing the Protestant Church.
