We are told that St Patrick visited Dunmore parish. He came over the hills from Ballinlough through Clogher into Kiltevna. It was there he built his first Church in Dunmore parish. The remains of this Church are there in an old cemetery about one mile away from the present Church and in an out of the way place.
The clay from this church was brought to bless the site

hills, and on this account is said to be at the back of the sun. Windsor gets its name from a Castle the McAlpines built there. They called it Windsor Castle after the Royal residence in England. Colonel McAlpine, the last occupier, sold his property to the C.D.B. and it is now divided up into holdings, and the castle has been levelled to the ground. Part of this village is called Clogher because it is filled with huge masses of rock. There is a bog near it called Seantalam. Part of the village of Gortnafolla is called Drimdaff. It takes name from the ridge of hills running through the centre of it, which are covered with ferns and heather. Cloonkesh, Cloontibrid, Cloonagleragh, Killard, Ballyguinn, Knockanour and Meelick are villages near the school in

There is a large stone on the hill of Clogher. It is said that there was a giant or a great hero buried there hundred of years ago.
There is a heap of stones in a "Carraigín Bráth" where there was a grave-yard long ago. The heap of stones were put over the grave of a great musician nearly a century ago.

She prayed fervently, and a golden paten came through the heavens and lay on St. Attracta's head she lifted it and gave it to St Patrick. The wells are to be found in Killaraght, Tobaraght and Clogher. Her feast is kept on the 15th August.

It is said that Holmes' ghost haunts Clogher - where the Mc Dermott family now live. After twelve o'clock Holmes is either riding his black horse round the grounds or sits on the wall. There was a man once and he asked the steward if he could have some broken sticks from the wood. He was told he could and one night as he was going rambling he bundled up the sticks and as he was coming back after twelve he went to get them. As he was coming out he saw Holmes sitting on the wall - "Leave them down, leave them down" says he. The man dropped the sticks and ran and the bundle of sticks are still there.

Clogher. They had just got the flags on the cart when they saw a carriage with a black horse being driven by a headless man coming round by the back avenue. They left the stones and they can be seen in the same place still.Two other men went to steal the same flags and as one was trying to lift a flag a foot appeared on it and pressed it down. The men ran as fast as they could and they heard a horseman after them.

The tenants (of the) having no arms what-so-ever started throwing stones thinking that they would frighten them. Suddenly Sergeant Armstrong ordered his men to fire and two men, Corcoran and Flannery, dropped mortally wounded with buckshot. This incensed the crowd so much that they rushed their opponents with the result that the Sergeant was stoned to death. Broder and Hayes retreated quickly and so saved their lives. Since 1913 a monument marks the spot where these brave men fell and is is clearly visible on the rock today where the heroes’ blood ebbed away. When the monument was built the names of the hearos were engraved on it, but in 1922 when the Black and Jans saw this writing inscribed on it they scraped it out. After the event feeling ran very high, but thanks to our local curate, Jr. O’Hara, he amicably dealt with what might have been a very serious question in Local History.Maura Cryan

The flames were lessening a little but the crowds were getting larger and as the shades of night had fallen the upper part of the house was burned but strange to say the underground rooms were untouched. It is said that this burning

(3) Another night after my grandmother's auntie was after dying or one or either after getting married an incident occurred and was very plain to the people who saw it. As they were all seated near the fire a cocoa box that was up on the window sill jumped down on the floor and started walking around the house. This happened at my grandmother's Mrs Mary Corridon, Clogher Ardfert.
My grandmother told me those stories and she says they are all true.

There was also supposed to be a Convent in Clogher, and when the people in the locality were dying, bells were heard ringing and beautiful music was heard.

There are many old stories about a place called Clogher in this parish(Ballyheigue). It contains great big stones. It is said that there is gold buried under the rocks there. Some of the old people say that it was a great man that was buried there.
There was a man and he said that it was a giant that was carrying a bag of stones up to Maulin; there was a

When the penal laws were there another place where they used be teaching also was in Clogher stone, in Timothy Gaynor's field. This was probably a hedge-school.

A short distance from Clogher School are the ruins of an old gaol where a few centuries lived a man named McElligott. This man had four castles in BallyMcElligott the ruins of which are clearly visible to the present day.He had a beautiful daughter and her delight was to see her father killing

Great walkers: Jack Daly of Ballymacpierce, Clogher parish, Co. Kerry, walked from home(Ballymacpierce) to Cork city and back a distance of one hundred and fifty miles. The time taken was from sunrise to sunset one summers day.

In the bad times of the Famine three brothers set out for America from Boherbue as north Clogher was then called. They took all their provisions with them in baskets. They were a long time gone and nothing was heard of them so that their people were afraid they were drowned. They had a young sister at home and she was sent with a message to a farm house some miles away. There was an old man in this house who was invalided but who was said to have the most beautiful hands in the world. He got into conversation with the little girl and said "Ye are in great trouble over your brothers but don't, tell your mother that they have landed safely and that ye'll hear from them soon. The little girl went home and told about it and true enough the brothers letters came in a few days. Some years went by and it was the
