  1. The Tale of Maura Gargan
    In the parish of Tierwarker Co. Meath there is an old graveyard known as Mybloegue [Pron. 'Moybullog']. In it stands an old chapel of St. Patrick where we are told he used to say Mass. All of it that remains is the four walls and the highest wind that ever came never knocked it down. St Patrick told us so himself that it would remain.
    He Blessed a well where many people got cured of sore eyes by using the water. He left the track of knee on a stone.
