This one was just 5 minutes in the car from Trim Castle. It is famous locally because of the "Jealous man and woman" tomb from the 16th century. There is a legend attached to the stone - apparently the rainwater that gathers between the two figures on the stone cures warts! What you have to do is place a pin in the rainwater, and then jab your wart with it! Once the pin turns rusty, your warts will disappear, and you're supposed to leave your pin on the statue in 'payment for your cure'(!)
I don't have any warts, so I didn't test this, so you'll just have to take my word for it and test yourself one day if you need to!
