    The Enaughan Castle
    23rd November, 1937.
    Some time ago a number of men were digging in Mick Reilly's field beside the Enaughan Castle which is commonly called Páid's Castle. They came to a place in the field where the ground had a hollow sound. They kept on digging and to their amazement their spades slipped out of their hands and went down into the ground.
    The people of Enaughan afterwards said that the men must have come on the secret passage between the Enaughan Castle and the castle in Rosduff.
