  2. It is believed that here is a treasure hidden in Crehans moate in Ballysally. Fairy people can be seen on a moonlight night dancing round the moate. There were once races in the moate field. When were were over and going away the horsemen repeated the following lines:
    Long life to James Crehan
    And to your wife and family too.
    That me us a free racecourse
    and a moate to take a view.
