- Long ago in the townland of Danganbrack there lived in the castle known as "Danganbrack castle" a family of O' Briens.
It was a custom with this family to kill a pig every Christmas. One Christmas owing to poverty they had no pig to kill. After a while when one of them went out he saw a ring of pigs around the castle. They killed one of them and the rest of them were drowned in a pool. This pool is still to be seen at Abbeyview and is known as "Poll na Much".
In one division of this castle it is supposed a priest was hanged. If anyone entered this division he could hear the rattling of the chains with which he was hanged.- Collector
