Once upon a time a man hid gold in a cable leading from Gowran to Graiguenamanagh. Some people by the name of O'Haras from Gowran village went into the cable to find the gold. Inside the cable was a gate and inside the gate was a man and he would not let them get the money but he told them that they would get it in another place called McCartys well and they got the gold in that place.- Collector
