    The story of an old Castle
    There were many castles in Ireland long ago. The ruins of one of these old castles can still be seen in Lisfunction. Long ago there were Protestants named Kennells living in this old castle. Some of the old people say that there was gold buried in this old castle, but when people went in search of the money and when they would be chased by a bull with chains of fire.
    The ruins are now called Kennell's Walls.
