== Local legends ==
There was a holy well near the Catholic chapel at Moneyneena that was allegedly defended by a magician named Sir Volvet. The magician was so possessive of the well that he kept an earless dog chained to the well to stop others from benefiting from the water. Through time this well became known as ''Tobarawathymeel'' or "The Earless Dog’s Well".
Magical powers were not restricted to Sir Volvet; tradition has it that the townland of Moneyneany derived its name, ''Móin na n-ionadh'' ("bog of wonders"), from being a favourite place for the old Irish warriors to learn their exercises and perform great feats of magic.〔(History From Headstones )〕
