    Another story is told of Cromwell's soldiers. The soldiers were eating their dinner in Tansy's fort and they say the monks out praying. They fired on them and came down to the Abbey and took the prior up to the fort.
    They ate their dinner and then got a spike barrel and put the prior in it and let him roll down the hill. Then they took the prior out, stuck him in a trench and did the same with most of the monks.
    When Cnoc-Mór Abbey was being built the builders mixed the cement with the blood of oxen.
