  1. There is a cave at Knockamany around the nose of Ben a múl. Some sailors stole barrels of wine from a ship wreck. They rolled the barrels into the cave and hid them for themselves, as their captain was drowned. The Police found them and hanged them with chains in the cave. This was on the eighteenth of August. On the night of the eighteenth of August you can hear the chains rattling and the barrels being rolled.
    The cave is called "Jimmy's Cave".
