  1. Crom Cruagh's garden is a small fort in the estate of Mr Robert Gorby, Shrough, Ballymagovern Co. Cavan. This place is surrounded by white thorn bushes. In it there are twelve stones in a round ring, and in the middle of the stones, Crom Cruagha the false God stood. Tradition tells us, that when St Patrick came, he made "the sign over the false God, and it fell into dust.
