- There is a large hole at Gortletragh which got its name thus. -
In the penal days a priest used to say Mass on a "Mass rock" near this hole. One day some soldiers came and put the priest in a barrel with nails in it and they rolled the barrel into the hole. After this that hole was called the Murder Hole.- Collector
