- This story was told to me by my grandfather who is 80 years of age.
There is an old cave near the Ballybrack Hill. Years ago it is said that an old priest was saying Mass outside this cave. It was the time the jews were in Ireland. The jews saw the cave and the wondered what it was. They went up to is and there they found the priest. And they were going to kill him. But before they put him to death the priest put his bare foot on a stone that was beside the cave, and the footmark still remains. When some people are going to the hill they put their bare feet on the stone because there is a cure in it. There was a little church in the same place and there was a statue in the church. The jews smashed the statue and set the church on fire.- Collector
