- There is a tradition in Poulacapple that as Diarmuid O Duibhne was returning from a deer hunt on Sliabh na mBan and Drom Dearg his horse was swallowed up in a hole in the bog. Hence the name Poul an Chapaill. A deer found in Poulacapple bog about 1850, the antlers of which can be seen at Poe's of Harlepark, bears out the tradition of the escapade of Diarmuid Ó Duibhne. A deer's skeleton found in Poulacapple Bog about 1850 is now at Poe's of Harlepark
- Another tradition tells that when St. Patrick was passing through Poulacapple his horses went down in a hole and were lost and that is how place was named.
