The townland is home to the "Split Rock". Local folklore holds that this rock —though actually carried to its current location by an Ice Age glacier— was split as a result of an argument between two giants. According to legend, if one walks through the split three times, it will close, entombing the person forever.{{cite web|url = http://dromorewest.ie/history/the-split-rock/| website = dromorewest.ie | title = The Split Rock | access-date = 19 January 2021 }}
