    My father Mr C. Green told me this stone story.
    One upon a time when St. Kevin's lived in Glendalough and he was looking for a (sight) site to build seven churche's so he went into a farm yard one day and he saw a goose and he went over to it and hushed it and it flew seven miles all round and every mile he went he lit and St Kevin built a church and ever after it is called the seven churches.
