    No one ever interfered with the lisses.
    There is a liss in the townland of Banteen, and it is covered with trees and briars of big and small and a lot of rabbits hide in them.
    There are two lisses there also with a glen dividing them and there is an old badgers den in the side of the glen.
    There is a story told about one of these lisses, how a little girl suffered from sore eyes and she was getting ready to go to a doctor. She was very poor and she went to a neighbours house for a hood and as she was coming home she passed by this liss and she was taken into the liss and was cured immediately.
