- The old people of ages never wrote down the old stories but hear is one that is nearly forgotten.
There was a giant in Tipperary who lived at Templemore on a mountain called Devil's Bit because he took a big bite out of the mountain. He carried it as far far as Cashel and dropped it there and from that day to this it is called the Rock of Cashel.
It is to be seen anytime. Many people to see the Devil's Bit as it has fine scenery and many stories are told about it but they are nearly all forgotten.
