    Share Share Post
    There is a valley in Castleroach called the valley of the "black Pig" the black pig is supposed to be the orange men going round gathering men to fight the Irish. He ran round world from Fochairt to Castle-roach: and the clay of the field in which he was killed is red like blood. It is said that he ran round the walls of Laghn (?) three times it is about four and a half miles from Ardee.
    It s also said the black pig will run again at the end of the world.
