- The TerriesIn the townsland of Rapla there is a field and the name of it is "Cawleys Field". In that field is the ruins of a house and the name of it is "Cawleys House". An old man told me a story about it and he said that in the olden times Ireland was full of robbers and bands of thieves.One time there was a band by the name of the "Terries". At the time of the Terries there lived a man by the name of Cawley in Cawley House. It is said that he was a shooneen and the Terries said that they would kill him unless they got money from him so they told him to £10 on the window or that they would kill him, so he failed to put the money on the window and the band shot him dead in his bed.
- In the townland of Ballinamurra there is a cross and the name of it is "Peg Jones Cross". An old man told me a story about it. He said that one time a woman by the name of Jone lived at the cross and she kept a shibeen. When she died the people called the place "Peg Jones Cross".
