- There was a man named Sam Codd who used to make rings and nails. He always had a nail shop in the Mill Lane. He shod horses about the time of ninety eight. No matter who came in, he had his hammer, and was ready to shoe his horse. No matter what people told him he would not stay in Hacketstown, he went off to the castle in Clonmore at night. But it was said that no one could ever find him during the night. After a time it was found out that he went in under the castle at night through a tunnel. He came out at the bridge in the morning.
