- There is a grave in the north-east of Herbertstown, in Rathjordan, in Barry's farm. It is said, that two men went to get the giant's money, one night, when he was buried. As they were digging the grave, they heard the roar of a bull, and they ran for their lives. It is said, that there is a bull seen there once a year.
