    (continued from previous page)
    Politely asking this old man his load of turf to sell,
    I took the shaking hand he offered unto me,
    We'll meet some other place again,
    Says says the turf man from Ardee.

  2. Stone in front of Cormaddyduff School

    Share Share Post
    On the road beside Cormaddyduff school there is a stone with the print of a foot on it. In the Penal times there was a saint executed for her faith and she was standing on the stone when executed and the track of her foot was left on it by a miracle.
