the Leap
1937-8 There was a man in this district but his name is not known. He was a famous jumper living in Walshtown [the adjoining townland to the north-east]. There was a jumping competition in this district [in which] several men competed. This man was one of them. He jumped five or six feet farther than the others. He was living where the Murphys are living now and the farm is still called the Leap. There were many other famous jumpers in this district.
