- Once upon a time when Diarmud was back in the west he knocked a huge piece of rock out of Nephin and meant to crown Knocknashee with it so as to make it better than Benbulben, so he made a rope out of rushes and put it around it and carried it across the country but, when he came to the place where Muckelty now stands the rope broke and he was discouraged to try to bring it any farer so he left it there and to this day the track of the rope is on Muckelty.
