- Many years ago in Ballybrennan graveyard there were bells always heard. There was an old man named Vero living in a house near the graveyard.He was a Protestant. he was killed during the Rebellion of 98 in Enniscorthy.When other men went to look for his body to bury it they found nothing but his head and arm.The rest of his body was eaten up by a sow.They buried him inside the old walls of the graveyard in Ballybrennan.When he was buried, the bells were never heard afterwards.
