- In the townland of Kilcornan, parish of Drumraney, there is a rock called the nailers rock. This is how the rock got its name. There was a nailer living in the neighbourhood and as well as making nails he used to make boots and shoes. This rock was situated near his dwelling place. As a rule he married on his work in his house but it was his custom at about six o'clock every evening to go out and work on the rock. Ever since this rock is called the nailers rock.
