  1. There's a big deep hole in Tinnecarrig rock. It's called Porculan's hole.
    There's an underground passage goin from the hole to Carrigbyrne rock.
    It's said that wan night a piper strayed into the hole, and he couldn't get out of it. He was never heard of sence. But it is said he is heard every night sence then playin' his pipes undher Tinnecarrig road and from that to Carrigbyrne rock. Some auld people say its the fairies that play the pipes.
