- The story is told by the older people that when Saint Patrick visited this parish he took with him a cow and calf. When he had been some time there, it is said that the calf was stolen by some of the neighbouring people. Afterwards they buried the calf in a field near Sapperton.The cow then searched everywhere for the calf and finally scented it to the field where it was buried. She was then in a great rage, and rooted up the ground furiously. There is still to be seen in this field a big hole, which shows the burial place of the calf.
