    In the ocean about a quarter of a mile south from the townland of [?] in Baltimore Co Cork, there is a small island named "The Kedge". There are about four acres of land in it. There is a bed cut into a rock about one hundred feet over the sea and in that, people used hide from the English soldiers in the Penal Days. Under the island there is a tunnel where people used hide in boats also.
