- There are two fairs held there every year. Long ago 'twas a great place for faction fights, and using the Shillelagh.
The Place (Muileann a Púca) got its name from a certain which was supposed to be haunted. There are several mills in the locality but this wan was the only wan that was haunted.
The man who owned this mill used to work very late at night; he was a miser and wanted to make bags of money.
Wan night when he was working late the fairy came and blew something in through the keyhole and blinded the man.

It was said that the mill was heard working late at night when all the people were in their beds. (gan teideal)
