  1. A Cave

    Share Share Post
    There is a cave in Drumdaff. No one ever found this cave except a priest. One day the priest went out walking. He went near Drumdaff house and found the cave. When the priest came home the maid asked him where he was. He told her that he found the cave. She asked where about was it. The priest would not tell her. But he said let the next best find it. No one ever found the cave after that. It is supposed that Drumdaff house is built over it. It is also said to be St.Brigids cave.
