- In olden times the people of this part of the country had to travel long distances to fairs with their stocks. It was not very safe travelling in those day, as they were often robbed coming home. There were a few men coming home from the fair of Newtowngore. It was night when they reached Wellmount. They were held up there by robbers and all their money was taken. The robbers went to count the money on a rock not far from there. They fell out among themselves dividting it and one of them was killed. There are blood stains on the rock. It is called the robbers rock ever since.
