   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   The locality surrounding this school is fairly rich in local place names in both English and Irish, and I am now about to name, and explain, the meaning of these places as well as possible. In doing so, I propose to start at a certain place, and having made my survey, finish there again.
   About one mile straight north from this school is a mountain pass by the name of Murderin' Glen, and as the name indicates a murder or murders must have been committed there in former times. (See Story entered in this book on 26-12-37.) A few hundred years ago a noted robber by the name of O'Kelly lived with his mother in that place.
   He had his home under a a rock, and that cave is plainly to be seen at the present day. There is a road running through this glen, and at that time a lot of butchers used to pass that way going to Cork. This robber had a baton by the name of a blunderbuss and with that he used to attack, and sometimes kill them.
   Not far from this cave is a big deep hole by the name of "Poll na mBúistéir and it was in to this hole that the boy used to throw the dead bodies of his victims.
