- The Haunted Well
There is a well east of Dunamase. This well is supposed to be haunted. There is supposed to be a hidden treasure there. Many men have trued to dig it up but they failed. One of the O'Moore's of Laoighise is supposed to have put it there and he put a spell over it. Many farmer's have brought their dogs to try and tear up the well but have been pushed back by rats. These rats are supposed to be guarding the hidden treasure.
