    Tá dún nó fort i mBaile na Manach agus tá iarsmaí de shean mhainistir ann. Tugtar Baile na Manach ar an áit sin. Tá lorg an mainistir le feiceál go soiléir ann fós. Deirtear go bhfuil pluaiseacha faoi ag dul go dtí dún eile sa chomharsanacht agus go bhfuil airgead i bhfolach ins an bpluais sin. Thug muinntir na h-áite a gcuid óir do na manaigh chun é a choinneál slán. Níl fhios ag duine ar bith san áit seo cérbh' iad na mánaigh nó cé an t-am a raibh siad ann acht go raibh siad ann cinnte.
