“There are ruins of an old castle in the lands of Mr. Pratt, Enniscoe.”
There are ruins of an old castle in the lands of Mr. Pratt, Enniscoe. It is believed that the giants lived in this castle in olden times. People avoided these giants as much as possible as it was believed that those who came into contact with them be met with a violent death. There is a large tree growing over a kleep pit. It is believed the victims were hanged on this tree and while still alive they were dropped in a big fire in the pit.
