    There is a large deep hole called Poll Tuaithbheall beside the castle in Castletown and here the Gort river disappears under ground. It is supposed that there is no bottom to this hole and it is said if you fell into it you would come out again in the Kiltartan river.
    Once upon a time a soldier riding on a horse towards the hole. He did not know that there was a hole and both himself and the horse were drowned.
