    Folklore
    Many years ago a man named O'Sullivan lived in a cave on Killiney Hill. He had a big cell in which he kept his food and money. He was supposed to be poor but he was the richest man in Killiney and Dalkey. Everybody used to give food to him everyday. He died and when some people went into the cave they found nothing but gold and silver. From
