    "who had heard it from their grandfathers who had read it in St. Columbcille's prophecy," that when the little island in Loch na Farnoge would change its position, there would be an end to the Saxon rule in Ireland.
    The late Mr. McMullen, City Engineer, gave the following particulars of the Lough in a report made in 1893:-

    "The greatest depths is about 9 feet. The depth varies in different parts from 9 feet to 6 inches. It is feed by springs and rain. The volume discharged is scarcely perceptible except after rain. There is no marked difference between summer and winter levels except what is caused by rain. The overflow is conveyed in a south-westerly direction towards Summerstown by an 18-inch gully sewer."
