A rough stream runs by called the Glaiseagarriv River. In this stream is a waterfall. Below the fall is Poulanassig.Traditions says that the bottom cannot be found. Ropes with weights at the end were left down and were cut. Chains with weights at end were even cut.

A miser that threw in the gold for fear anyone would spend it after his death.Some say the monster is a huge eel, and others say he is in the form of a huge donkey.
