- There is an old fort in Rosscahill, between Oughterard and Moy Cullen. There is an underground passage about two miles in length leadining from the fort. At the entrance to this passage there are three white thorn bushes, under which there is a king buried. It is said he appeared to several people after his death. The old people said that when passing the fort at night a croud of people, cattle, horses etc. were seen there buying and selling. Later on the farmers from the adjoining towns and villages, met there with their stock for the purpose of buying and selling.
