- There is a field in Kilfeacle called the fair field. It is now owned by Mr. Patrick Gavin Kilfeacle. About 78 years ago a fair used to be held there. Mr. HIckey of Bansha and Mr. Hickey of Dundrum used to fight there. The Hogan's were called the fighting Hogan's and Mr. Hickey was called Ben Hickey. There was a dispute between them about a heifer. One said it was a three year old and the other said it was four years old and in that way they fought. It stopped in 1850. The Hickey's are living in Bansha and the Hogan's are living in Kilfeacle now.
