    A long time ago when a fight was going on in Glenmalure. A man by the name of Michael Dwyer hid in a cave up in Glenmalure while the fight was going on.
    He hid there for a couple of weeks and at night time he would come out when everybody was quiet to get something to eat and then he would go back to his cave again.
