- About seventy years ago there lived a band of robbers at Lough Talt and they used rob people going to Ballina. One day a man from this part of the country was coming from Ballina after selling butter. He had a mare with him and when he was coming near Lough Talt one robber man ran out and caught the mare by the bridle and whistled for, but the man hit him on the knuckles with the whip and he let go the bridle, but still kept whistling for the help of other robbers and they were coming, but the man they were trying to catch drove his mare so fast that they could not catch him.
There is a hillock at Logh Talt yet called "The robbers den".- Collector
