    There is a castle situated a half mile east of Ballynacally. It is said that there is money hid in that castle. A certain man dreamed of the money, and that it was a hid under briar long side the castle. One night at twelve o'clock himself and two others went to the Castle to look for the money, and they brought spades and shovels with them. They began to dig, and they dug until they came to an iron gate, they saw the shade of a bull there, and they lost courage and went home
