The legend of The Cappoquin CornerstoneThe story goes that one of the occupiers of Cappoquin Castle was a poet named Tomas Ban Fitzgerald. Because of an enemy's curse he fell on hard times and did a deal with the Devil - in the guise of two 'Maistini' or Hell Hounds. They made him prosperous again in return for the promise that he would give them his first born son. Because he was a bachelor and had no son anyway, Tomas was happy with his bargain. However, years later, he married a French noblewoman who bore him a son whom they christened Muiris. Soon the Maistini came to take the child but Tomas refused. Days later the boy mysteriously died followed soon after by his mother who died of a broken heart. Consumed with grief, Tomas decided to leave Ireland forever and lived out his remaining years in a French monastery. Before he left he had the cornerstone of the Castle's fireplace, upon which his deal with the hell Hounds had been written, taken out and rolled far away from the Castle to the spot at the end of modern Castle Street where it now lies.
