- There are old ruins directly opposite this school and overlooking Ballinlough Lake. Formerly a family lived there. The house was supposed to be built on a very unlucky site and this family was very unlucky in it also. At one end there was a house for cows and there was a door leading from the dwellinghouse directly to the cowshouse. One night the woman of the house thought she heard some unusual noise among the cows. She got up to see what was wrong. She found the cows alright and she returned to bed.
