   Two hundred and nine years ago a man named Denis Bergin lived in Shrahane. There was a horse taken on him and he stole it back. He had to go to Court and when the judge heard the case, he said the man was not fit to be living at all. He was murdered and buried in Kyle. Whey he was murdered is written on a tomb stone beside his grave. The tomb was broken and it is three pieces to the present day in Kyle.
