    Share Share Post
    Capt. Molloy the leader of the Infantry Yeomen lived in Rathbracks House. This house was a long thatched house with different gables and windows. There was about 140 acres but its divided now and Tevlin (Matthew Tevlin a building contractor) lives there now.
    After he died people used be afraid to be out at night as they might see his "zoch leega" his ghost until someone fixed him. Mc Guinness took it over as a Tillage farm. The froth swimming on the water was supposed to be his spirit and he is between froth and water.
