    Whitechurch owns it. There is a figure seen every night at about 12 o'clock in the top of this hut. When the figure goes in strange music is heard coming from the inside of it.

  2. Giants and Old Warriors

    Giants and old Warriors
    I have found out from some of the people of this district about a giant who lived about two hundred years ago. He lived in the townland of Whitechurch in a castle. He used to raid the people's houses to get food. He was killed by an old warrior with a stone. The stone struck the giant on the side of his head and killed him.
