  1. Long ago people dreamt of finding gold near Castle Corr. They were the Sullivan Cowlicks. But when they went in search of it they were followed by all kinds of supernatural things such as cattle and bulls without heads so they had to give up their search. It was supposed it was the devil was there.
    Castle Corr is about two miles east of the KIlgobnet School.
