  1. When the races are held in Castleisland every year there is a man acting in the field who is able to lift fifteen stone weights and he could also lift three men.
    It is said that long ago there was a man living in Cordal and his name was Tade Dale. He ran round pole's road and the beagles were after him. He ran as far as Kilsarcon before they were able to overtake him.
