    “On a little hill called the Mullach near Bellewstown there is a rock.”

    On a little hill called the Mullach near Bellewstown there is a rock.
    There is a hole in it in which there is always some water.
    The people of that district who had warts used to drop a pin in the water for every wart they had and they were supposed to be cured.
