It is said that the landlord asked the tenants which they would prefer:- to have this made a County road as people who lived on it were badly situated, or, to have the rent reduced.
People named Soraghan and Loughran who lived on the land preferred to have the rent reduced as their land was bad.
These people are dead now and emigrated and their holdings in other hands, and it is a land still. - Chalice
A chalice used in Collon R.C. church has inscribed on it the name of:- Anne Reid, Belpatrick.
It is thought that these Reids were evicted at Drumcar in Cromwell's time and coming west to untenanted common lands brought this chalice and other valuables with them for safety, and afterwards gave it to the Parish Priest of Collon.
Rev. Father P.P., has this Chalice now.
