  1. Long ago in the Penal Times there was a man in the Parish of Partry, named "Seán an t-sagairt". He was a man who betrayed the names of priests who were hiding. He got so much money for the head of each priest. he was put to death and was buried under a tree behind Partry barracks and the tree never bloomed since.
