Next day they went back again and it was tumbled again. Then Columcill said that some ten men should stay up. They decided to stay up all night and watch who was tossing it. They ten men stayed up all night and they saw nobody till it was dawn in the morning. Then Columcill told all the people to gather and have a meeting on some Sunday. One Sunday all the people gathered and they had a meeting.
    When all the people was gathered a dove lit and lifted a stone and went away with it. Columcill told all the people to watch where it would go. They watched where it went and it lit over at Collen and they built the Chapel there. Then Columcill said that they would call it Carndonagh because it was on a Sunday we had the meeting where to build the Chapel. It is now a old ruin.
