In the townland of Castletown there is an old ruin of a house caled "Shanavoun" House. It is supposed to be the ruins of an old monastery. The local tradition says that there is a cave or opening near this house and down in it is hidden a crock of gold. A little red_haired man is said to appear before sunrise once in every seven years and that he will tell whatever person is near where the gold is hidden.
