   There are the ruins of an old church in the townland of Aughrim Kelly. The church is known locally as "Teampall Hugh O Connaill" It was built beside a river. The part of the river which runs beside the church ruins is known as "Poll an fhíona" or the hole of the wine
   This is the story:-
   During the Cromwellian regime English soldiers raided the monks who lived here and threatened death upon the whole community. The leaders of the attackers, however promised to spare the monks if their abbot there and then changed the water of the river into wine. The abbot did this, but the soldiers instead of keeping their promise set upon the monks and slew them mercilessly. However two or three monks made good their escape. They are supposed to have gone to another monastery about four miles away (Moore I think was the name) Natives tell of the tragedy which befell the Cromwellian soldiers after the attack. At three different places the earth is supposed to have opened and swallowed them down.
