- 1798 Rebellion.During the 1798 rebellion there was a barracks built in Glenmalure called Drumgoff Barracks. A lot of soldiers stayed there during the fighting. Some of the Byrnes were fighting at that time.
There is a story that one of the soldiers had a lot of money which he hid under the iron stairs before he died. People say that the soldier still is in the ruins and that they have seen his ghost. A man named Michael Byrne was taking some stones once and he found a pair of boots and a jam-pot full of pennies.
