- There is a river running under Kildavin hill
In the troubled times a priest was hunted, captured, and killed on the bridge which spans the river.
When killed, his body was thrown into the river and from that day to this blood is to be seen on the stones under the bridge.He had a Mass-Rock near-by also a secret hut where he sheltered at times and from that hut he had an unknown pass to Mayglass.
