  2. An Underground Cave

    Share Share Post
    Once upon a time there was a woman washing potatoes in her house. The ruins of the house are still to be seen at Tullyhullion.
    The woman, being in a hurry upset the tub and spilled the water. Instead of flowing out through the door, the water disappeared. When some men looked. they found that the house was built on an entrance to a cave which led into the interior of the hill. There is another entrance to the cave between James Harkin's house and Ann McDaids
