  1. While St. Patrick was at Cashel converting the Irish, he had a cow and a calf. The calf was stolen. The cow was furious when she missed the calf. She was so angry that she put her horns into the ground and following the scent of the calf she tore up a channel all the way from Cashel to Kilwatermoy, which is a few miles from Tallow. This channel can still be seen. It is called " Rian Bó Phádruig ".
