    Many years ago there was a man living in Ballynennan, Drangan named Tadg Maher. This man fought at the battle of Aughrim and was killed there. His black horse turned and galloped for home with the dead body of his master on his back. So he arrived at his home in Ballynennan. He was buried in the old churchyard in Drangan.
