- In the year 1798 when the Rising was on, Father Murphy and his army were on the road to the "Three Rocks". (Wexford). When they got as far as the "Three Rocks" they saw an army of English coming against them and they got behind a ditch and put their hats on the tops of their guns. When the English saw them they began to fire at them.
When they had wasted their ammunition, Father Murphy shouted, "Charge", and all his men rushed over the ditch and began to slaughter the English soldiers.
Places are to be seen to-day where Father Murphy and his men hid from the English Soldiers.
