- (continued from previous page)night a few boys came along and rolled a large stone in on the place where the man was digging and he never minded digging again.
Uniac was added on to Cappagh because a great English captain named Uniac lived near Cappagh wood. He had a huge house and the avenue remains to this day. When his house fell it stretched out about a hundred yards and some of the stones can be seen to this day.
At the northern end of the townland flows the peaceful Aherlow and on the east is the well-known church of St. Pecaun.
Three large streams flow into the Aherlow namely, Pender's Stream, Cappagh Glen and Pecaun's Stream.
In the middle of the townland is a pure spring well named Barbara which is said to be the purest well in Clanwilliam. In one of the fields is a stone called Cloc a Púca because it is supposed that fairies lived there.
