- An English soldier was shot and was buried in Matehy Graveyard. One night every grave in the graveyard removed except the soldier's grave. The graves crossed a river named Foxes Ford. Within a short distance of Matehy they stopped on top of Rock. In the river there is part of the old ruin that was in the graveyard.
