    It is said that this passage was erected for the purpose of having the bricks which were used for its erection, conveyed from Dublin is the castle, which is supposed to have been built secretly in one night. Thousands of men lined he underground passage from Jigginstown to Dublin, and had the bricks passed by hand, from man to man.
    A Lady in blue is supposed to haunt the place on certain nights during the year. She may be seen roaming around the derelict building.
