  1. (continued from previous page)
    three jumped into the sea and swam seawards till they cleared the extreme ends of Dursey.
    At that time they were separated quite a distance from one another and instantly they were changed into three rocks and through the centuries these rocks are known as An Geadach An Laoidh agus an Tarbh ~ The Cow. Calf and Bull Rocks respectively
    Incidentally I may remark that the old people at Reentrisk called the Bull Rocks Teach Duinn, and it is still known by that name. It is supposed that Donn the Son of Milesius was lost there - hence the name. In Dursey it is known as Tigh Duinn (Ti Duinn)
    the g of Tig is not sounded
