- St. Munn brought that big cross, that you see now inside the gate of the graveyard, from Kiltealy on his way he rested at Brown's Castle, now called St. Munn's Bed. He brought the cross drawn by seven asses, across the country.
- The Cromwellian soldiers fired at the castle from Fort Mountain, and shattered the top of it.
A cannon ball also struck the cross (St. Munn's Cross) which was just beside the castle, and blew one arm off it.
There is supposed to be a cure in that cross for warts and toothache
