- There is a ‘fort’, an under-ground passage to the Abbey in Killeigh, almost 4 ¼ miles away. In this passage came the monks, used to store valuable books and other things. Once when the Danes attacked the monastery, the monks fled along the passage to Killeigh. They forgot a book, and a message was sent from monk, along the passage until finally the message reached Killurin. On Christmas Night, bells can be heard singing and an ass braying from Killeigh.
