“One time there lived a man near Coolrain. ...”
One time there lived a man near Coolrain. His name was Canaic. He was one of Cromwell's soldiers, and he was a very cruel man. There is a lime kiln near his house which is still to be seen. It is said he used to drive a spear through every child he met and them threw them into the lime-kiln. The old people say that there is a ghost seen there every night.
