  1. On Vico strand there is a cave in which Decko is supposed to have lived. It is under the cliff at the wall leading to the strand. It is a very long passage it is said if you go through it, it will leave out on Killiney Hill. It would be dangerous to go through now as it is very old and dark and would probably fall in, if anyone touched it.
    Long ago Decko is supposed to have come to live in the cave.
