    32. The Building of Bruff Castle
    Once upon a time the land between Knockaney and Bruff was covered by a lake. At that time Bruff castle was being built. The stones for the castle were carried from Knockaney hill to Bruff in boats.
    One of the boats, when going across, sank, with five men and two tons of stones in it. The stones are still to be seen near Bruff.
    Iron bars were got in the same place a few years ago by a man called Mr. O. Meara.
