  1. The Black Pig

    Share Share Post
    The Valley of the Black Pig lies along here according to the old people who have passed away.
    When we were small we learned about the Black Pig very often and it was a kind of terror.
    Nothing would stop its race-war and death would follow in its tracks and always Ireland would win her freedom at the end of the race of the Black Pig.
