   At last a Protestant family whose house still stands there, offered them their field. The field had a tree on top of Knockineagh hill. Here they hanged Flynn, who could see in the distance his home and his mother watching his death. The tree immediately withered and it never grew a leaf since.

   At that time a man named (- -) used to go for a walk every morning. He would start at Creggan, walk to Fardrum and back through Clonbonny. One evening he went to the house of a family named Byrne and told them that the following evening he would evict them. Next morning as he was going on his usual route, he was shot as he crossed a stile. His assailants escaped. The Byrnes were evicted just as he had planned. But for a long time nobody could be found to take over their house and property until eventually a man named O'Brien accepted it.

   In another field stands a lone tree called 'St Patrick's Tree' and it has only three branches on it. In an adjoining field is a huge rock called "The Mass Rock" because on it Mass used be offered in the Penal Times.
