   Share Share Post

   Once upon a time there was a man ploughing in Clonaslee. He had but one horse under his plough. There was a lake near by. A strange horse came out of this lake. The man yoked him with his own horse under the plough, and did the Spring's work. Then he went away and the man never heard tell of him afterwards.

   A Tower
   There are the remains of a tower to be seen in a field of Major Hamilton's Roundwood. There is a cave to be seen in his lawn also.
