    Long ago St.Mochulla built a church in Tulla. The ruins of it are still to be seen. St.Mochulla had a blessed bull. Each day the bull was sent to Ennis to bring food. One day as the bull was coming home three robbers attacked him. The bull roared and St Mochulla heard him. He cursed them and they were turned into three stone pillars. These stones can still be seen.
