- A man in Meelnagh sent his workman to take a holy-water trough which was in Meelnagh graveyard. He wanted to use it to feed pigs
It took seven men to lift the trough into the car. The workman said not to take it. They brought it home and fed the pigs from it. A few days later all the pigs died. So he took the trough back again and it only took one man to lift it into the car.- Collector
