  1. "Cow's Walk"
    One day a number of cows were going up Dalkey Hill. They were very thirsty and were looking for water. They were passing the quarry when one of them saw a pool in it. She ran along the edge of the quarry and the man ran after it. It came to the place where it saw the water. It jumped over the edge and was killed. After that the place was called the Cow's Walk.
