    Fadó bhíodh muinntir na léime ag dul treasna na h-abhann Rife ag baint fraoich. Ní raibh aon droichead ann fadó agus thiubhradh siad saileach casta ar a chéile leobh agus nuair a shroichidís an abhainn chaithidís ceann d'en phlanc a bhíodh casta de na seiligh go dtí an bruach eile. Lá amháin bhí baintreach bhocht ag dul treasna air agus bhí ualach trom fraoich ar a druim aici. Nuair a bhí sí leath-bhealaigh treasna thosuigh na saileach ag imtheacht ón na chéile thuit an bhean bhocht san uisce agus báthadh í. Tugtar "Corra Saileach" ar an áit sin ó shoin. Tá sé taobh thiar de sgoil na léime ar an Abhann Rife.
