- About three or four years ago when the English were persecuting the Irish Catholics for their religion there were monks living in Clonmore. The ruins are to be seen still and are called Clonmore Castle. The English haunted the monks out of Clonmore and they were afraid to bring their gold with them. So before leaving, they hid the gold in a cellar under the ground. Anyone after that found out there was gold hidden there went to look for it and were supposed to be frightened away by a ghost.
