- When the O'Donnels were princes of Tirconnel the O'Friels were a family that apparently had many priests among them.This family still lifts "Gartan Clay".Those who get this clay from the O'Friels will never be drowned and never be burned.People going to America always ask for this clay. It is a very nice white clay like French chalk, and nobody knows where it is found.Once a curious person stole quietly after the O'Friels when the went to get it. The clay could not be found that time.The local people say it rises up from the ground when the O'Friels go to a particular place.
