  1. Pirate Byrne, who lived in a castle where the house of Cuchulainn once stood, is supposed to have hidden some of his money in a cave under the castle. This cave is connected with another cave in the Deer Park, but the passage is now blocked up. It is possible that in that cave there are chests which contain Pirate Byrnes money.
