- Long ago there was no bridge in Moyasta. When the people from the west were going to Kilrush they would have to wait where the bridge is now until the tide was out.
While they were waiting they would be fighting. Then it was called Mágh-Sheasta which means the Plain of Confusion.This story was told by
