- Miss. Keoghan's Moat was never filled but it would be in a meadow and a grand place for keeping sheep in Winter for the shelter. In one spot the hay would die before the rest and there was hollow around if you tramed on it (There would appear to be an undrground cavern here?)
- There is a Cave in Mrs. Henrys of Seymourstown, Killskyre Parish English visitors to the Napes (Landlords in Lough Crew near Oldcastle) visited it and they got the Game-keeper to show them where it was and they went down in it. It may have been 10 years ago. You go down steps to it.
