bPianamhail.  Tá sé chomh h-aosta sin is ar éigin go bhfuil fiú na fothracha féin le feiceál, ach deireann na sean-daoine go raibh séipéal ann uair amháin.
Tá fothracha sean-tséipéil eile san Pháirc Mhóir agus cuireadh ar lár é uair amháin agus chuaidh fir chun é d'ath-thógáil.  D'iobruigheadar ar feadh lae agus d'fhágadar a n-úirlisí in a ndiaidh, agus nuair a d'fhilleadar an chéad lá eile, chonnaiceadar na h-úirlísi agus iad go léir clúduighthe le fiul.  I gCill-Trustán tá fothracha sean t-séipéil a tógadh in aimsear Naoimh Trustán agus seo é an chaoi in a bhfuair an paróiste a ainm.
