- My mother told me this story. When Strongbow first came to Ireland he made a raid on Wexford and he killed many men. Among those who were killed was an Augustinian monk. But the Prior before being killed put a curse on the Barrow. He said that three should be drowned every year until the murderer was caught, but he was never caught and three or more are drowned in the Barrow every year.
