[Ardkill More]
"The worm ditch, the traditional story is as follows, goes through this townland. It is asserted that ditch has been dug by a worm passing through this townland untill [sic] [i.] entered a small lake on the western side where it was drowned. The lake is called Loch na Paísta which is Loughnapaista, meaning either a worm or a beast." [Desc. Rem.];
