  1. There is a rock in the Co. Cork, called the priest Leap. The English soldiers were coming, and the priest saw them, and there was a river between the soldiers and the priest. So when the soldiers were coming, himself and his horse rose into the sky, and landed down on the rock and the prints of the horse's hoofs can be seen there yet.
