- (continued from previous page)Mullins on the 25th July and it was a general holiday in the parish. A man by name of Anthony went out to work in the fields with his work men on that day. All went well until dinner time and Anthony's wife whose name was Ramshagh Rua brought the dinner to them.When they were eating their dinner Saint Moling appeared to them. He asked them did they know what day it was. Anthony ran away with fear as far as Drana where he was turned into a stone. This stone is called Stuacán of Drana to the present day. His wife ran as far as a mountain where she was turned into a stone. This mountain is called after her to the present day Ramshagh Rua. An ass and car which she had by the road-side and the work-men were turned into stones. Some of the stones off Ramshagh Rua went to build "the palace of Marley". It is remarked that any woman who lived in this house died young.
