    There is a bank of sods on the strand half way into Coney island. People say it was St. Patrick put it there. St Patrick was making a road into Coney island. Some of the road is made. St Patrick was boarding in Coney island an island about two miles from Sligo. He told the woman of the house to have a rabbit for his dinner. The woman of the house could not get a rabbit.
