- Long ago the devil was flying over Mount Gabriel and he was flying so low that he hit his wring against a rock. He got so cross that he took a bite out of the rock. When he had gone eight or nine miles from Mount Gabriel, he left the rock fall into the sea. The rock was so large that a part of it remained over the water and it is on that rock the lighthouse is built on now and it is known as the Fastnet Rock.
There is a large lake where he took the bite and the water in that lake is of a black colour.Josephine O'Mahony
