    Castle Taylor is about 1 1/2 miles from the school.
    There is a rock in it called Pat Shiels rock. The people say that a man was coming home from visit one night when a little man appeared, to him and told him that there was gold hidden under the rock and he named a certain man that he should bring with him. He told him to go the next night and to bring the man with him.
