- Lord Dunsandle once owned a corn mill in a place called Riverville which was situated on is estate in Dunsandle.
One night he was invited to a hunt ball in Dublin. While the dance was going on his partner asked the players to play a tune called The Dusty Miller. Lord Dunsandle thought she was making little of him in asking this tune because he owned a mill. When he came home he burned the mill to the ground, and built a castle in its place. The ruins are to be seen yet.
