- A long time ago there was a long tunnel east of where Rath Moylan is now. It is believed that it reached up as far as Ballygunner.
Smugglers used to keep drink and other things in it. When the smugglers died the tunnel was neglected and the cliffs fell and blocked it up.
The tunnel is still believed to be there with everything that was put in it. I do not know if any attempts were made to get it.
The tunnel was dug by the Ó Faolán family as a hide-out from the Danes.- Collector
