    story about it. John Philpot Curran was born in Priory. There is a great wood in Priory where he and his friends often went hunting in the old days. At the bottom of the wood there is a deep glen called Stanners's Glen. They say that on dark nights in the Winter time the horses can be heard galloping through the glen, and the huntsmen calling to one another through the wood. The hounds also can be heard crying all the night, and in the morning a fox is found dead at the bottom of the glen.
