- 28 May 1938On the back road leading from Mullagh to Kells about a quarter mile to the south of the town of Mullagh at a place called Gleann Dub is the remnant of an ancient cemetery. When the Kellett family came to Rantavan this cemetery was situated on their property. They got their workmen to remove the headstones from the graves and with these stones they made floors in the Kitchen, the dairy and many of the outoffices. They had the soil of the cemety carted out as topdressing to the adjoining field several days being spent at the work. The night following the completion of the work a rainstorm washed every trace of the soil from the sloping field and left it in a line along the entire fence at the bottom of the field. Pretending to attribture the occurrence to natural causes in a day or two they ordered their men to re-cart the soil on again to the field but when the men arrived in the field with their carts they found not soil but one huge string of tangled worms so gruesome that man and master fled from the field.John Fitzsimons
Told to me by John Gibney Mullagh age about 40 years in 1838 who heard this story from his father, also John Gibney in 1832 aged about 81 or 82 years
