  1. When St Benjamin was in Tullylease in the bad times, a cow came one day and she was dropping the milk, and he milked her. She came every day for a week. One day she came and someone watched her to know where would she go. She went into the middle of a field near the church and dropped her milk and a stone appeared where she dropped it. It is said that the stone is a cure for a pain in the head.
