    Long ago there was a castle in a field now owned by Thomas Barry of Kyle, Herbertstown called "The castle of the house field". Every feast day long ago the people that were living in the castle used to send messages to the gentry living far away to come for a feast. When they would come they used to tell the coach drivers to go away and when they were gone they would kill the gentry and bury them at Barry's Hill or Herbertstown Hill.
