    There is a stone near the Grave-yard in Glendalough, it is called the Deerstone. Some people say that St Kevin milked the deer into the hole which is in it, and ever since that it is called the Deerstone.
    People wish on the Deerstone now. There is a bank also in Glendalough called Frayney's bank. Long ago there was a man named Myles Frayney living there. He was a shoemaker.
